Assessment and Learning Improvement Network

The Assessment and Learning Improvement Network is for CSU faculty and staff who want to learn about assessment and learning improvement activities across campus. The Network meets monthly during the academic year to share assessment strategies, information, results, and projects across campus. Meetings are open, and individuals are free to join meetings as they like. Meeting topics will be posted in advance on this page with the registration link. Meeting information will also be shared on the CSU-Assess listserv.

The Network’s goals are to:

  1. Build capacity to conduct assessment and use the information to make improvements for learning. 
  2. Provide a venue for sharing information like survey results, etc., amongst academic faculty, student affairs and academic support staff. 
  3. Encourage collaboration across units and programs. 
  4. Develop and promote use of ethical assessment practices. 

Spring 2025 Meeting Schedule

All meetings will be held in person at the Lory Student Center. Please use the registration link for each session you want to attend to receive meeting reminders and updates. The registration link will be listed at the end of each session description as it is available.
