Assessment Report

Evidence that Core Components are metComponent 2C: The organization’s ongoing evaluation and assessment processes provide reliable evidence on institutional effectiveness that clearly informs strategies for continuous improvement.

The team observed that the assessment processes with regard to non-academic units are well planned and quite robust. Feedback loops are part of each plan with decisions made, based on results of assessment. For example, the campus technology plan includes a data collection plan, sets measureable goals, and defines metrics for goal achievement. The team viewed this plan as quite impressive and a model for other units within the institution and elsewhere.
