Student Affairs Assessment
IER partners with the division of Student Affairs to support a comprehensive, ongoing assessment process that evaluates effectiveness of all programs and services using institutional data and development of dashboards. All student affairs units are scheduled to collaborate with IER to enhance their data literacy and establish a foundation for self-assessment. The assessment template that was jointly developed between IER and Student Affairs in 2020 is completed by each department and covers six key areas: Program Mission, Student Outcomes, Signature Programs, Data Analysis, Contribution to DEI, and Areas of Growth. These assessments highlight areas of effectiveness, improvement opportunities, and action plans to ensure continuous improvement toward enhancing student success.
