Institutional Effectiveness

Shippensburg has centralized the management of assessment and increased institutional effectiveness across the university.  The diagram below outlines the governance process that is being followed as we move from a decentralized to a centralized assessment model.  

How is this model being supported?

• Chief Strategy Officer is responsible for overseeing institutional effectiveness and assessment
• Office of Institutional Research & Assessment, in collaboration, is taking the lead of:
  • assisting with assessment data collection and analysis
  • supporting assessment activities (workshops)
  • coordinating assessment training & professional development
• Institutional Effectiveness Committee assists with assessment support, planning and creation of a comprehensive Assessment Guide 
• Institutional Effectiveness Committee produces annual reports and disseminates assessment results across campus

The Institutional Effectiveness Committee has been charged with creating an infrastructure to support institutional effectiveness assessment for academic and non-academic areas.
