The Office of Institutional Effectiveness hosted a valuable hands on workshop titled “Planning and Assessment”, which introduced the university’s new terminology and application for planning and assessment. Attendees had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new template for both the operational plans and the annual assessment report, while gaining practical insights through hands-on sessions. Participants were able to immediately apply what they learned, and the outcome of the workshop was much appreciated by all. The success of this workshop has prompted the Office of Institutional Effectiveness to plan a similar session for academic leaders in January 2025, ensuring that all university members benefit from these improvements. Attendees are already looking forward to next year’s workshop.
