Using Program Assessment & Evaluation to Impact the Student Journey
Danielle Pierre, Divisional Assessment Analyst (Division of Students)
Successfully retaining students and delivering leading edge student services involves centering students' interests in multiple domains: academic, access to campus resources, preparing for a career, exploring multiple identities, and exploring passions outside of the classroom. With so much variation, how can we know that our work is positively impacting the student experience?
This workshop will define and describe program assessment and evaluation. Participants will learn about the key terms and fundamental concepts that are required to engage in program assessments or evaluations.
