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 the Student Learning Assessment Committee which provides 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.
