Assessment Task Force:
Are you passionate about assessment? Ready to team up with fellow faculty members to craft impactful assessment strategies? The General Education Program’s assessment process is your chance to gather insightful data and drive meaningful, measurable improvements! The group will meet about once a month for the rest of the academic year, beginning in November.
