Good morning! Over the past few weeks, Institutional Effectiveness has hosted some very successful trainings (for SACSCOC Reaffirmation Report writers) and demo sessions (for program assessment report writers/reviewers and other faculty, staff, and administrators) for the new institutional effectiveness and assessment platform, HelioCampus. Thank you so much for the valuable feedback on and positive response to the institutional transition to the HelioCampus platform thus far. Here are a few updates to what you’ve been told regarding demo sessions and trainings moving forward: 1. No attendees registered for this event, so the demo session scheduled for today, Thursday 5/4 in the Brehm Animal Sciences Building Room 130 has been cancelled. 1. We hope that folks will join us for the final HelioCampus Walk-Through Demonstration Session, which will be held virtually<https://tennessee.zoom.us/j/92878791306>, tomorrow, Friday May 5th from 2:30-3:30pm. 3. You asked and we listened! There will be two HelioCampus Program Assessment Training Sessions held virtually—one in June and the other in August. Be sure to visit the HelioCampus Outcomes Assessment Training Schedule<https://ie.utk.edu/heliocampus-outcomes-assessment-training-schedule/> for more details. 4. Be on the looking soon for an announcement from Elizabeth Pemberton regarding Course Evaluations training opportunities! Additional learning opportunities for various user groups will be announced as they become available. Again, many thanks for the warm reception to this change. We understand transition of any kind can be stressful and confusing. Know that your colleagues in Instutional Effectiveness are here to support you. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Take care, [Logo, company name Description automatically generated] Ashley M.

As a land grant university, we collectively pay our respects to these Nations, and to their elders past, present, and emerging. I also know that land acknowledgements are a necessary but insufficient approach to indigenous liberation and sovereignty.
