Â鶹ÊÓƵ

To foster a positive and engaged approach to assessment on campus, we are rolling out Watermark in Fall 2024 with the goal of reshaping perspectives and building a culture that values assessment as a meaningful practice. 

To further this initiative, the Office of the Provost is offering three grants (up to $5,000 each) for the Spring 2025 semester. These grants aim to support faculty and staff in advancing assessment-related research and presentations by covering expenses such as travel, software, and data acquisition.
 
Together, we can transform assessment into a valued tool for innovation and improvement.
 
* We will consider smaller funding amounts on a per project basis.
