The University Assessment Committee was established in 2002 in order to provide faculty at Saint Xavier University a more prominent and sustaining role in assessment planning and activities. The primary charge of this group is to monitor assessment activities across all disciplines at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and to make recommendations to the Provost and Deans about assessment practices and implementation plans. The core premise is that assessment activities are placed into operation in order to enhance student learning throughout the University’s graduate and undergraduate curricula. To this end, the Assessment Committee assists academic departments with developing assessment plans that inform decisions related to student performance in meeting key learning outcomes.
