Dr. Palmer-McLean met with the committee to issue a specific charge regarding assessment. In light of the upcoming North Central Association visit, the SAH College Office has requested that the committee review assessment reports submitted in 1998, 2001, and 2003 by all departments and programs within the college. Each committee member received a copy of the reports along with a rubric developed by a campus-wide assessment committee to guide the review process. 5. Following a discussion about the review process, it was decided that each committee member would independently review all documents within the next two weeks. Subsequent to this, the committee will discuss each department/program during the course of the semester, and ultimately produce a final, written report. Meeting was adjourned at 11:57 a.m. Respectfully submitted by Jennifer Miskowski.
