A New Outlook on Outcomes
|
|
|
In our second episode, J.D. White, Ph.D., talks with Shannon LaCount, Ed.D., Director of Campus Success, about the value of a thoughtfully
considered assessment approach. Shannon presents the concept of learning outcomes assessment as

|
|
|
|
|
so much more than an administrative task. When structured effectively, assessment can clearly demonstrate if, and how well, students have
learned – and why this matters. Previously the Director of Student Learning Assessment at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Shannon was also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Why Colleges and Universities Should Be Run More Like Presidential Campaigns
|
|

Ok, maybe not actually run like a presidential campaign. I certainly wouldn’t want to listen to a college president give a one-hour stump

Lehigh University’s Division of Student Affairs hosted its second annual Assessment Symposium this past November, which opened the eyes of
division staff and university faculty alike to data-driven insights into student engagement, co-curricular learning, and college student development. Using national data as well as results from local assessments conducted with Campus Labs’ support, attendees
engaged in candid conversations about continually improving the quality of the Lehigh educational experience.

“I think the presentations demonstrated that our commitment to fostering a rich learning environment beyond the classroom is guided by theory
and data and, more importantly, is making a positive difference in the growth and development of our students,” said John Smeaton, Vice Provost of Student Affairs, in this article by LU News.
