Assessment Resource Office

Eastern New Mexico University has been formally involved in assessment since 1986. The primary purpose of assessment at Eastern is to improve student learning. Thus, assessment must contribute not only to those processes by which members of our faculty examine their teaching and student learning, but also to those processes by which we try to improve programs and services.

The Assessment Resource Office (ARO) is funded in significant part through a Research and Public Service Project of the New Mexico Legislature.

The Assessment Resource Office's purposes:

1. To improve student learning
2. To seek the best practices and methods of assessment
3. To broaden the scope of Eastern's assessment efforts
4. To support Eastern's ongoing analysis of its body of assessment data
5. To provide leadership in assessment in higher education in New Mexico
