Administrative Assessment

Nuventive

All administrative and student support units are required to identify goals and assess outcomes in support of the University’s Strategic Plan. These goals should be clearly aligned to the mission of the unit and focus on strengthening and improving critical functions, services and processes that impact stakeholder satisfaction, and or initiatives and projects that contribute to the university’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. Units that have student learning as part of their mission will need to be sure to include one or more goals related to student learning achievement.
