Collaboratives

The Effectiveness Collaboratives were designed to reflect the culture and mission of the College, while addressing the applicable areas of SACS Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1. for Institutional Effectiveness. As the institution’s mission is not inclusive of research, the College chose to add an institutional effectiveness area of Human Performance Enhancement to focus on professional development of each employee group.

The Effectiveness Collaborative Process Owners will lead, in collaboration with the identified Effective Process Facilitators, the institutional effectiveness assessment efforts of the respective programs or units. Effectiveness Collaborative process owners might not serve on the Collegewide Institutional Effectiveness Committee, but will be represented by members of their Effectiveness Collaborative.
