A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
At the end of the Winter 2016 semester, the Personal Assessment of College Environment (PACE) Survey was administered for the third time on our campus.
In Fall 2011, Delta College adopted the PACE survey as a formal method for collecting feedback. "The PACE survey is designed to assess satisfaction with the college climate, including identifying the areas of greatest satisfaction and the priorities for change. This survey has been tested for validity and reliability, is normed on a national database, and is proven as a tool for accountability and benchmarking of institutional effectiveness." (http://nilie.ncsu.edu)
The survey is administered on a 2-year cycle so that we have time to take action on the results and make improvements.
PACE was developed and is administered by the National Initiative for Leadership and Institutional Effectiveness (NILIE) – a part of North Carolina State University.
