Who We Are and Our Mission

In March, 2008, the leaders of over forty academic survey research organizations agreed to join  together to form a new association of organizations, the Association of Academic Survey Research Organizations [AASRO].  Their vision was that AASRO would grow to be recognized as a leading voice in support and promotion of excellence in survey research conducted in academic settings.

 

In May, 2008 AASRO became a formal organization with the mission of facilitating mutual support among member organizations in the following ways:

 

• Promoting excellence and integrity in the conduct of survey research;
• Sharing information for effective organization and administration of academic survey research organizations;
• Promoting the value of survey research conducted in academic settings; and,
• Advancing the role of survey research organizations across diverse university structures.

AASRO is a Census Partner

In February 2010, AASRO became a formal partner to the 2010 Census.
