The NEIU Assessment team consists of one non-faculty position and five faculty representatives with one faculty member taking a lead role as the coordinator of program assessment. The oversight of the team is within the perspective of the Associate Provost for Innovation and Academic Assessment. The assessment team collaboratively helps address all the needs of the assessment process from strategizing on goals and assessment measures to the technological aspects.
