Welcome to Hunter's Office of Assessment Blog!

Why does an Office of Assessment need a blog, you ask? Turns out, assessment can be a pretty thought-provoking endeavor. After all, asking the big questions - what students learn, how they learn it (or don't) and what we all can do about it - can lead us down some tricky paths. Providing a space for sharing and reflection can make that exploration more rewarding and enjoyable.

As the Director of Assessment, I'll be posting here regularly as I come across interesting assessment ideas and models at Hunter and throughout the field. I would like to welcome my Hunter colleagues and collaborators Brian Buckwald from Scholar Programs and Lindsay Portnoy from Educational Foundations who will be writing about their assessment journeys. Both care deeply about our students and have a great deal of excellent insights to share. I look forward to reading what they have to say.

If you would like to join us in writing about assessment, please contact the Office at assessment@hunter.cuny.edu.

Welcome to the conversation!
