Strategic Planning and Assessment Resources

Assessment allows the Enrollment and Student Services Division (ESS) to fulfill the college mission in the most effective and productive manner to drive continuous improvement. Assessment informs ESS strategic planning and allows the division to be a good steward of college assets.

Assessment helps answer questions such as:

  • Are we making a difference in the lives of our students?
  • What do we want students to know, be able to do or value as a result of our program or service?
  • What evidence do we have that the work we do in ESS has made an impact on students' persistence and success?

Strategic Planning and Assessment priorities

  • Promote outcome-oriented thinking and data-informed decision making
