Mission and work<\/h2>","content":"The UCEEA actively works to develop and maintain sustainable processes of student learning assessment within each school, as well as use assessment findings to improve current teaching and programs.\r\n\r\nAs a University-wide committee, this group devises and supports linkages between assessment activities across the University. Although each school differs in its educational activities and goals, similarities are identified and built upon when possible.\r\n\r\nThe committee also serves as a sounding board for assessment best practices and new strategies. To facilitate these activities, members of the UCEEA remain up-to-date on current learning assessment approaches through conference attendance and familiarity with the literature on student learning assessment.","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"}],"sidebar":"show__sidebar","sidebar_feed":"automated","menu":"26","page_links":null,"sub_menu":"","content_modules":[{"acf_fc_layout":"directory","anchor":"committee-contacts","css_class":"title-line t-navy t-below centered","title":"
