Culture & Community Team report: Anne reported (by e-mail) that Molly
Hockenberry and Sam Wade have agreed to join the team. She is waiting to hear
from Dan Dickman. The Committee suggested that Anne invite Michelle Slattery,
too, since she is a new full-time faculty member who would bring the general
education perspective to the team.

The Committee discussed creating a culture of using assessment results to make
improvements. Some thoughts:
 A theme for the year – next year should be Culture & Community since
this one coincides with the diversity strategic initiative and is under redevelopment.
 Could work through Department Chairs to bring to program level.
 Visual campaign to raise awareness (posters, TV).
 Do problem solving/root cause analysis to determine how to proceed.

CLO Assessment CCSSE: Sheila provided a report of Committee’s input for aligning CCSSE
question with CLOs. The Committee reviewed and made final decisions. CCSSE
questions per CLO are 3 for Speech, 2 for Writing, 7 for Culture & Community, 4
for Computer Literacy, 1 for Computation, 6 for Critical Thinking. Committee
also agreed that: The report will measure students’ perceptions of their exposure
to the CLOs, not their level of attainment and will be useful information for
curriculum review. Report will compare responses of all (from all courses
selected by CCSSE) to responses from courses with students near graduation.
