CURRENT EVENTS
During 2024/2025, the IEC will focus on writing the Mission Fulfillment and Institutional Effectiveness Report to be published in 2025. Over summer and fall, IR worked on the annual update to the Mission Fulfillment Indicator Scorecards.
During 2023/2024, we updated the MFI Scorecards, presented to College Council and Faculty Council, and kicked off the Annual Planning Workgroup in collaboration with the VP Academic Affairs. Linh My Ta, Communication and Data Specialist student worker, created a new resource, "About the MFIE Report." This visual brochure explains the purpose of the mission fulfillment report, how it was created, who was involved, how we measure mission fulfillment, and how the information is used.
During 2022/2023, the IEC provided recommendations to the administration for a Portfolio Review Process. Academic Affairs 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.
