RENA CHESKIS-GOLD
CEO AND FOUNDER
New Haven, Connecticut
Rena is the Principal and Founder of Demographic Perspectives, LLC. A well-known researcher, evaluator, speaker and author, Rena is an expert in providing custom data and analysis for strategy, assessment, communications, and for managing change. Formerly with Yale University’s Office of Institutional Research, Rena has conducted research to inform decision-making at over 75 colleges and universities, nonprofits, and businesses. She also conducts public outreach for planning processes.
Rena specializes in designing surveys, focus groups, and other analytic tools to guide student, participant, donor and customer recruitment, retention, program planning, career services, alumni engagement, and for project evaluation.
Rena works with schools and universities to develop strategic material such as demand and masterplanning studies that are necessary for programming and planning community common spaces and student, staff, and faculty housing. Her research has guided the development of many student housing plans, including the Harvard Graduate Commons residential life program, 1,000 new graduate beds in Harvard’s Riverside and Trilogy housing, the renovation plan for Princeton’s Hibben-Magie housing, and Washington University in St. Louis’ neighborhood plan for north of Delmar Avenue. Her areas of focus include developing long-term enrollment and occupancy projections for school and university systems that need to develop long term projections, such as the Massachusetts State College Building Authority’s biennial Strategic Housing Plans,
and the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs. Rena is often consulted on preparing surveys and strategic material to better understand the impact of appearance and impressions of capital assets, such as the Massachusetts Division of Capital Assets Management and Maintenance’s (DCAMM) Campus Impressions Survey as part of its Facility and Campus Conditions Assessment.
Another strength includes Campus Climate Studies and Diversity Programming, both of which can help a campus identify issues related to diversity, inclusion, equity, eliminating bias, and instilling respect.
Rena teaches, speaks, and publishes regularly on incorporating data and research into planning efforts. She recently developed and co-hosted a webinar on ‘Campuses Learning from Each Other,’ and developed and moderated a plenary panel at the North Atlantic SCUP conference on ‘Campus Planning for Diverse Student Identities.’ She has taught workshops on “Data-Driven Decision-Making for Real Estate Planning” at the Association for University Real Estate Officers conference, spoken on trends in student housing and residential life at SCUP and ACUHO conferences, addressed International Student trends for NASPA, and was keynote speaker at the 2017 East Coast Conference on Faculty Housing. She has been a regular guest speaker on utilizing survey research for customer insight and strategy at both the Harvard Business School and the Yale School of Management. Her customer-oriented approach to survey research is featured in a Harvard Business School case study on survey research.
Rena holds a B.A. with distinction in Demography from the University of Illinois, an M.A. in Demography and Population Studies from Brown University and has completed doctoral preparation at the same Brown program.
