The University Assessment Council serves as an advisory body for the Office of Educational Effectiveness. The Council provides recommendations and guidance regarding: the assessment of student learning outcomes in programs across the university, professional development for faculty and staff in the areas of assessment and continuous improvement, and recognition of best practices and excellent assessment work. Further, the University Assessment Council reviews, refines, and promulgates institutional learning outcomes (ILOs), reviews and interprets aggregate data relating to the achievement of these learning outcomes, and makes recommendations for necessary improvements.
