Faculty Council Assessment Committee

 

The Faculty Council Assessment Committee was established to provide support to each department/program’s assessment process through the education and training of faculty and to advocate for meaningful college-wide assessment. Information regarding membership can be found in the DACC Faculty Council Constitution. The committee produces a newsletter each semester and provides professional development through the DACC Assessment Teas.
