The Assessment Advisory Council serves as a representative group across undergraduate academic disciplines responsible for assessment of student learning that supports a continuous improvement process. Specifically, the AAC:
- Review current practices and advises on assessment planning, resources and support for future assessment of student learning initiatives.
- Foster continuing discussion among faculty and academic programs on best practices in assessment of student learning.
- Enhance a culture of assessment across courses, programs, colleges and the University that connects assessment of student learning findings to curriculum improvements.
