Academic Assessment Council

The Assessment Council is comprised of faculty, staff, and administrator liaisons representing each academic unit within the NYU community. Meeting several times each year, the Council creates innovative assessment strategies, monitors compliance with university and accreditation assessment policies, shares success stories and assessment-related challenges, and develops meaningful practices to improve student learning across NYU programs and units. Members represent all schools and global locations, and are responsible for disseminating updates and information, sharing resources, and collecting annual assessment reports from their active programs.
