During his career, Hall has designed and conducted research dealing with teaching effectiveness; student outcome competencies, achievement, aptitude, and satisfaction; alumni satisfaction and accomplishment; employee satisfaction; employee evaluation; academic and administrative effectiveness; relationships with external institutional constituencies; financial analysis; admissions criteria and prediction; and enrollment/retention. The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness coordinates university reporting to external entities including the U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS), Baptist General Convention of Texas, and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

He also chaired the Graduate Council.
Since arriving at Wayland in 1981, Hall has served as director of sports information, photography, placement and career planning, university relations, and institutional research and effectiveness.
