Utilization of Outcomes Data for Institutional Improvement As described in the College’s Assessment Plan and previously in this standard, data is routinely tracked longitudinally for a large number of College operations. The goals of assessment are to (1) analyze outcomes data to determine if progress on institutional strategic goals is satisfactory and (2) formulate and implement policy when analysis reveals a substantive lack of progress in meeting institutional strategic goals. The mechanisms employed in this process of closing of the loop include:  Dissemination of analyses and opportunity for feedback  Discussions at meetings of President’s Council and Round Table  President’s Annual State of the College Addresses ( State of the College Address – Example)  Annual Implementation Meetings (AIM). At these annual presentations, each vice president presents to IRPC and the senior management team a data ‐ driven analysis that addresses progress on the strategic plan in the vice president’s area of responsibility. These reports are published on the College’s website ( AIM Presentations ‐ Examples ).  Annual presidential evaluations of progress in each vice president’s area of responsibility linked to the strategic plan ( Performance Program Form )  Establishment by the president and each unit vice ‐ president of Annual Institutional Goals for the unit that are derivative of institutional strategic goals. These annual institutional goals o align each unit with the College’s strategic goals o provide an opportunity to utilize assessment results and analyses to develop and implement policies to ensure that strategic goals are met o are published on the College’s website
