• Provide support for systematic campus-wide participation in assessment through workshops, training, and resource development.
• Provide support to the campus community through development, planning, implementation, and coordination of assessment efforts.
• Provide support to the campus community through the interpretation and analysis of findings, the reporting of findings, and the integration of those findings into further program development and assessment.
