UC San Diego’s Assessment Learning Community engages faculty in equity-minded, evidence-based course and curricular improvements. Faculty craft effective assessment questions, draw on multiple sources of evidence, meet as a community, and share their results. We’re actively embedding this work into program review and campus-wide reporting as well as showcasing projects and positioning the faculty fellows as change agents. The session invites your input and offers take-home tools: facilitation prompts, simple templates, and partnership ideas.

Otis College of Art and Design developed new Institutional Learning Outcomes to activate its Educational Vision and DEI Statements across all programs. Organized around five student-centered action verbs - Grow, Dare, Reflect, Connect, Shine - the ILOs align every level of learning to the College’s mission. This session shares the collaborative process, institutional framework, and assessment strategy that together foster mission-driven coherence, accountability, and innovation in student learning.
