Annual Excellence in Assessment Recognition
The University Assessment Committee (UAC) recognizes individuals, programs, or units for extraordinary contributions to Ball State’s culture of assessment through ongoing efforts in the classroom, on committees, and/or in projects that have broad benefits and lead to improvement. Programs, units, and individuals are eligible to be nominated for one of the four categories.
Distinction in Assessment recognizes the individual, program, or unit that has made significant contributions to promote a culture of assessment at Ball State. The individual, program, or unit has achieved meritorious distinction by modeling sustained, effective use of assessment processes to make substantial and positive changes.
Innovation in Assessment recognizes the individual, program, or unit that has gone above and beyond expected assessment practices and initiated an innovative assessment method that resulted in improvement of an academic or co-curricular program at Ball State.
Equity in Assessment recognizes the individual, program, or unit for creating a more culturally responsive learning environment at Ball State. The award recipient disaggregates their data to examine whether any groups of students need to be better supported and/or empowers students as partners in the assessment process.
Collaboration in Assessment recognizes the individual, program, or unit for exemplary assessment methods in partnership with other stakeholder groups such as BSU students, staff, alumni, community partners, and employers to implement positive changes.
