Mission Statement
The institutional effectiveness process is an ongoing quest for quality improvement of all areas of an organization’s mission.
In addition, the college is expected to document quality and effectiveness by employing a comprehensive system of planning and evaluation in all major aspects of the institution. Planning and evaluation of teaching, research, service, administration, and educational support should be thorough, broad based, integrated and appropriate. Institutional effectiveness provides documentation of planning, assessment, and the use of results in decision-making across a campus.

* Provides support for a systematic campus wide participation in assessment planning, implementation, and reporting of findings.
