Student Affairs Assessment webpage recognized for excellence in communication

The National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) has chosen UAA's Student Affairs Assessment webpage to be the NILOA Featured Website at learningoutcomesassessment.org. George Kuh (NILOA director and co-principal investigator), Stan Ikenberry (NILOA co-principal investigator) and Natasha Jankowski (NILOA associate director) send their congratulations.

The NILOA Featured Website is a service intended to point others to promising practices in innovative and transparent online communication of student learning outcomes assessment. This is what NILOA wrote about the site:

"The University of Alaska Anchorage's Student Affairs Assessment webpage provides viewers with a concise overview of the university's student affairs assessment efforts. Included within the webpage is an explanation about the university student affairs assessment efforts on the front page in addition to links regarding End of Year reports, Annual Goal Review and Alignment Process, and Student Affairs Student Outcomes, among other related information such as Key Performance Indicators. Because the website presents the university's student affairs assessment efforts in a clear manner it is this month's Featured website in the category of Communication. Thank you for illustrating your assessment information in meaningful ways and for being a good example of institutional transparency."

Established in 2008, the mission of the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) is to discover and disseminate ways that academic programs and institutions can productively use assessment data internally to inform and strengthen undergraduate education, and externally to communicate with policy makers, families and other stakeholders.

Congratulations to the Student Affairs team!
