Institutional Effectiveness Commission

About IEC

Institutional Effectiveness Commission logo

The Institutional Effectiveness Commission engages the campus community in understanding of mission fulfillment and institutional indicators; assesses the effectiveness of the College’s planning, improvement, and assessment systems and structures; evaluates progress toward mission fulfillment; and provides information and recommendations to the campus and community. 

The IEC accomplishes its work by reviewing and providing recommendations about sponsored workflows/initiatives in these areas:

  • Accreditation
  • Assessment
  • Data governance
  • Key performance indicators
  • Process improvement
  • Program effectiveness, management, and review
  • Other duties as assigned by the sponsor

Updates

In the Fall the IEC began work for the 23/24 academic year, which includes communications about the updated Mission Fulfillment Indicator Scorecards, sharing results from last year's Environmental Scan Report, and writing this year's Mission Fulfillment and Institutional Effectiveness report.  For more information, please email Tammie Stark, IEC Chair at starkt@lanecc.edu

Current Events/News

Last year, the IEC provided recommendations to the administration for a Portfolio Review Process. Academic Affairs has moved that work forward by operationalizing the recommendations. For more info, read the letter from Shelley Tinkham, VP Academic Affairs, view the data, or contact her. Watch the Lane Weekly for an upcoming information session about this process.
