The Assessment Coordinator serves in an integral role, but is not solely responsible for the implementation and measurement of student learning.
Assessment is a collaborative process which requires input from all key faculty and staff in order to generate meaningful data. Coordinators need the support and participation of academic leaders (Deans, Department Chairs, Program Directors) and their faculty colleagues in order for assessment to be a sustainable, successful, and inclusive process.
