Dean of Student Success
The following pages are designed to guide your analysis of Strategic Outcome Assessments by your Unit and Programs. Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions or need assistance.
Step 1. Pease make an appointment with me to discuss the purpose and function of the outcome assessment for strategic
plans. Unit-level and program-level assessments are designed to create a comprehensive approach to assessing progress
toward achieving the mission of the institution.
Step 2. Please respond to all three of your Programs individually based on their pre-approved strategic plan, as well as
completing an assessment report for the Student Success Unit as a whole. Please use the included Strategic Planning Outcome
Assessment Feedback Form (2012-2013) for crafting feedback to your programs.
Step 3. If any of your three programs revised their strategic plan for 2013/2014, you will also provide feedback to those
programs about the changes presented. Please use the Strategic Plan Review (2013/2014) Form to assist you with this
feedback.
Step 4. It is important for the integration of the strategic plan into the culture of the university for you to meet with the myriad
of staff in your units. Meetings can be arranged at the nit level or with programs individually. It is important that reviews of
program outcome assessment reports are communicated.
Step 5. Since programs may be completing revisions of the plans for their work this academic year, it is imperative that your
feedback be given to your programs as early as possible. To that end, please submit the following to the Director of Strategic
Planning no later than December 20, 2013:
1. Copies of all Program Outcome Assessments for 2012/2013
2. Copies of all revised strategic plans for Programs for 2013/2014,
3. A copy of your Unit’s Student Success Strategic Planning Outcome Assessment 2012/2013, and
4. A copy of your 2013/2104 Student Success Strategic Plan

Comments:
Unmet financial needs are a challenge for Student Rights and Responsibility (zero dollars budgeted), Threat Assessment (zero
dollars budgeted), and Orientation (zero dollars budgeted) and will potentially hamper the ability of those units to be
successful in meeting goals.
Strategic Plan Review 2013/2014
Student Success
Program: _________________________Student Living________________________________
Additional Comments:
Student Living recognizes that data collection regarding the performance of and satisfaction of students in the LLC’s is
a priority, and has developed goals for 2013-14 to include addressing that concern.
Finding resources to overcome financial challenges in three areas: Rights and Responsibilities, Orientation and
Threat Assessment will be a priority. Lack of resources is a constant threat to our success in those areas.
