Department Assessment Workshop on Thursday

The department assessment workshop will focus on what academic departments need to work on during the 2016-2017 year for assessment. The HLC, as shown in the response to our May report, desires to see more connection between department and institutional assessment. We will talk about what this means at the workshop. In addition, we will also be beginning a map of institutional outcomes in general education. All faculty -- not just departmental assessment coordinators -- are encouraged to come. Coffee and snacks will be provided!

Thursday, August 25 | Department Assessment Workshop | 10 a.m. - 12 p.m., Marshall Room
