Assessment and Evaluation Committees

These committees are responsible for ensuring that there is a plan in place for the systematic evaluation of students, faculty, clinical agencies, facilities, resources, adequacy of library and technologies, and any other requirements in order to meet the regulatory and accreditation needs of the program. The responsibilities of the SON and SOP committees include reviewing all existing evaluation methods and procedures for appropriateness and make recommendations for revision as necessary; developing new evaluation methods and procedures, if needed, or recommending the addition of other significant evaluation programs needed for the adequate assessment and evaluation of outcomes.

These committees consist of at least three faculty members. The SON and SOP Assessment and Evaluation Committees work in collaboration with the Director of Institutional Research as well as internal assessment personnel dedicated to tasks specific to the individual School. The Director of Institutional Research helps the committees with managing data and attends this meeting as a nonvoting ex-officio member.
