ASSESSMENT PROJECT GRANTS
In 2003, the assessment committee designated funds for assessment grants, awarding funding for innovative projects assessing student learning and institutional effectiveness. Today, these grants are awarded by two assessment committees that provide guidance and institutional strategies for the assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness throughout the university.
To date, assessment grants have been approved for student certification/licensure study materials and practice exams, student major field exams, student surveys, national association peer review (academic support/student services), faculty training workshops related to assessment and accreditation, and faculty/staff conference registration.
