Importantly, success is dependent upon faculty members and student affairs professionals who have the knowledge, skills, and time to apply assessment critically to their practices. JMU has long provided a continuum of assessment resources to those on campus, from articles to workshops to a PhD program in Assessment and Measurement. In recent years, we have made more of these resources available to the entire assessment community.
