John has experience with higher education research and evaluation at both the national and local level. For eight years he directed the largest and longest running study of higher education in the United States: the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP). He also established the office of Student Affairs Planning, Evaluation and Research at Dartmouth College, using the CIRP and other national surveys as well as local surveys he created, to examine the student experience at Dartmouth. Before establishing Pryor Education Insights, John was a senior scientist in the higher education division of Gallup, where he was the lead researcher on the Gallup-Purdue Index.
