University Assessment Committee
The university assessment committee is composed of six faculty and six staff. The committee is an executive body created to foster an atmosphere of continuous improvement in both administrative and academic units. The committee reviews strategic planning objectives and provides feedback to units and divisions on document outcomes, achievements, evidence, and continuous improvement plans based on mission and institutional goals and strategic priorities.
