Assessment Advisory Group

The Assessment Advisory Group is for staff who are interested in and/or responsible for assessment. In addition to providing feedback and advice to the Associate Vice President for Operations and Planning and the Director of Student Affairs Assessment, the group also discusses professional development opportunities, assessment challenges and solutions, resources, trends, and current/upcoming projects.
