Assessment & Institutional Research

AIR supports Longwood's systematic, ongoing and integrated research-based processes for decision making and continuous improvement while promoting a culture of assessment by:

• Providing leadership and support for academic programs and administrative units in assessing student learning and the student experience
• Supporting the campus-wide utilization of the institution's online assessment and planning management repository
• Conducting and assisting faculty and staff in insightful data collection, analysis, interpretation and reporting;
• Enabling faculty/staff to develop leadership in assessment through collegial planning, professional opportunities, and collaborative research
• Coordinating the development of reports to ensure the university and its programs satisfy federal and state requirements as well as the institutional and specialized professional accreditation agencies requirements
• Collaborating with faculty and administration to engage in institutional research initiatives together with the appropriate data and research methods
• Promoting effective communication within and between units regarding empirical research endeavors

In support of Longwood's Strategic Plan, AIR's primary operations cover two areas, Assessment and Institutional Research.
