Assessment Mentors and Reviewers

2024 Assessment Fellows

Faculty engagement in the assessment process is a critical part of meaningful and manageable assessment. It enhances the overall assessment climate and creates a supportive culture for faculty to work collegially to examine the curricular experience and expected knowledge and skills of their graduates. Each spring, a group of faculty come together to further develop their own assessment expertise by applying to become an Assessment Fellow, taking on the role of an external peer reviewer of undergraduate program leaning outcomes assessment reports. Fellows review reports using an established feedback rubric to provide feedback on the assessment process. They also have an opportunity to bring new or enhanced assessment practice knowledge and skills back to enhance their own programs’ assessment effort. Assessment Fellows are invaluable campus resources for programs doing assessment.
