Vision:

Empower the college community to integrate effective planning and meaningful assessment into all institutional practices and to value collaborative inquiry, self-reflection, and continuous improvement.

Mission:

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment (IEA) works collaboratively with all work units throughout the College to ensure data-driven decision making and continuous quality improvement by facilitating and coordinating systematic, integrated, research-based institutional effectiveness planning and reporting. The Office of IEA also assists the College’s administrators, faculty, and staff with designing evaluation plans for innovative strategies, projects, and programs, assessing the outcomes of the interventions, and using results for continuous improvement and further planning.
