This one-day workshop on assessing for equity will focus on utilizing assessment to promote diversity and equitable outcomes on campuses. Workshops will be offered in three regional locations and will have a similar agenda, with variations based upon regional interests and events. A feature presentation will explore the linkages between SUNY expectations, Middle States Accreditation and meeting local goals, expectations, and experiences measuring student success as well as achievement of outcomes aligned with the institutional missions.

Participants are encouraged to consider the current or changing demographics of their institutions as methods for disaggregating assessment data are explored. Examples of work currently underway will be provided for participants to bring back to their institutions.
