Message from the Director

Greetings! My goal as Director of Assessment and Student Learning is to serve you with data gathering, production of required reports about the institution, and conducting assessment/program review and training. Our team at the Center for Teaching and Learning is more than willing to help uncover or gather data and with the analyses of that data. There is a wealth of information on these pages about Cedarville University and about our assessment or program review practices and procedures. Please refer anyone seeking information about CU to these pages.

Our offices are directly accountable to the Academic Vice President and the University Assessment Committee (UAC). Institutional Research, Assessment, and Program review are vital processes in higher education. These faculty-owned and administered activities establish how effectively CU serves our students and community. Answering the key question—“How do we know we are doing what we say we are doing?”—offers us the opportunity to examine our academic and student life practices, make improvements, and maintain high quality services for our students.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.

Sincerely,

Susan C. Warner, Ph.D
