The Assessment Committee is charged with communicating empirically-based findings to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs in ways that empower informed decision-making.

Other charges include:

• working through the process of transitioning from a summative, evaluative understanding of assessment (student satisfaction surveys, value of service delivery surveys, etc.) to one grounded in a richer understanding of student learning,
• developing a common assessment lexicon reflecting an outcomes-based approach to assessment, and
• marketing these ideas to all campus constituents (chancellor, provost, faculty, directors, and ultimately students).
