At our roots, The RP Group is a membership-based organization representing institutional research, planning, and effectiveness (IRPE) professionals in California. We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2025 RP Group Awards, whom we recognize for their exceptional contributions to student and institutional success through community college research, planning, and institutional effectiveness efforts.

We will share more information about our 2025 award honorees over the next few weeks, and they will also be publicly recognized as a part of our RP Conference 2025, the largest gathering of institutional research, planning, and effectiveness professionals in the California Community Colleges system.
