Let’s face it — meeting accreditor standards for assessment is challenging. You’re not just tasked with creating effective assessment processes. You also have to turn those processes into consistent functional activities that inform strategic planning for improved institutional effectiveness.

In this webinar, Florida National University shares their journey from talking the talk to walking the walk institution-wide, and how Watermark’s suite of tools, including Watermark Planning & Self-Study, Course Evaluations & Surveys, and Faculty Success, supported that transition. Learn how you too can create a culture of assessment and accreditation across campus.

You’ll learn:

  • How to move from only talking about what you want to track and assess to actually using efficient workflows and unified data for strategic collaboration across teams.
  • The connection between assessment, strategic planning, and continuous improvement.
  • How to get buy-in from stakeholders across campus to engage in consistent, meaningful assessment processes.
  • Strategies to enhance the assessment and accreditation culture at your institution.

This presentation is a recording from Watermark Engage 2024.

"Everything was siloed in our college... no one really had access to everything. With Watermark, we were able to pull everything into one location, which gives faculty, staff, advisors, and leadership the same tool. They can see everything holistically."
