OAAE
The mission of the Office of Academic Assessment and Effectiveness (OAAE) is to use institutional and programmatic assessments and evaluation techniques to make evidence-based improvements in student learning and teaching excellence in alignment with the institutions' mission and vision, and Strategic Directions program. We know that assessment is a very powerful tool that can improve the institutions in order to prepare for the future and inspire lives through learning. As directed by our institutional learning goals, OAAE facilitates the creation of educational environments where students can embrace difference, engage globally, think deeply, serve graciously, and live courageously.
