Description

In order to maximize the impact and value of a process that is sometimes “required”, how can institutions focus on the elements of Program Review that truly matter?  This interactive workshop will engage participants with strategies, tools and resources to improve Program Review processes in academic and student affairs at their institutions.  We will focus on enhancing the value and use of Program Review and provide simple structures for alignment with institutional priorities. Participants will learn about other institutions’ good practices and emerging trends within higher education.

Workshop Outcomes

• Describe the fundamental components of the Program Review process
• Articulate ‘questions that matter’ to make your Program Review process more meaningful
• Acquire simple tools/resources for streamlining and strengthening the process in alignment with institutional goals
• Explore emergent trends and good practices at other institutions
• Build a peer network for future program review support and guidance

Intended Audience
This workshop is designed for faculty, administrators, and staff campus leaders who are engaged in or want to learn more about philosophies, practices, and trends in Program Review for both academic and student affairs.
