Office of Institutional Effectiveness

 

Institutional Effectiveness

At its core, Institutional Effectiveness is about gathering and sharing evidence of the College’s progress toward achieving its mission and institutional goals. Documenting evidence that the College is progressing towards achievement of its mission takes shape in multiple ways including through institution-wide surveys, institutional research reports, CUNY performance metrics, and other data reporting.

Campus-Wide Assessment Updates

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness periodically provides overall summaries of assessment of academic and AES programs.

QUEST Newsletters: Institutional Effectiveness Highlights

The QUEST Newsletter series was launched in Fall 2023 and consists of monthly emails that showcase how assessment results are used across the College. This newsletter series is intended to share information about data, evaluation, and assessment across the College in a format that is easily accessible to all readers. Besides illustrating the assessment work going on at KCC, this series also helps us answer the questions:

  • What data do we collect or have access to that can help us make decisions about how to guide our work?
  • How can/do we use that data to guide our work?

QUEST Highlights #1: Culture of Assessment Survey 

QUEST Highlights #2: Mental Health Awareness Survey 

QUEST Highlights #3: Faculty Affairs Orientation Assessment
