About Us
The assessment of student learning is a critical part of institutional effectiveness in promoting and supporting evidence-based planning and improvement. The umbrella of assessment in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness includes management of institutional assessment, the Campus Labs Student Course Ratings System (CLCRS), and University Assessment Steering Committee (UASC). The UASC supports activities such as the Assessment Mini Grant Program and the Measures of Success Educator Impact Series. All assessment efforts are done in concert with strategic planning and program review, and through this collaboration, we strive to improve and enhance quality improvement initiatives at WMU, and to work toward fulfilling the mission of our office.
We are pleased to offer support and assistance to the university community in regards to outcomes assessment. Check out the Assessment Toolkit for a host of online resources, or contact us to let us know how we can help.
