A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
"Results from these items are shared with the directors of appropriate areas of the College, as well as with president’s staff. The student responses are presented over time, in the context of ratings of other areas within the College, and as a ranking among peer institutions (including a subset of the most similar peers). These assessments have been well received. Though simple, they present a useful general gauge with important context (the comparisons with other offices and with peer institutions). The IR Office receives follow-up contacts from administrators, such as requests for additional information, support for developing additional research to pursue a concern, and coordinating a contact with a highly ranked peer institution."
