AES Assessment Committee (AESAC)

Overview

The Administrative and Educational Support Assessment Committee (AESAC) was formed with a clear vision for how to better systematize how the college manages, supports, and improves AES assessment processes at Hostos (the Annual Planning and Assessment Reporting Process and the newly redesigned AES Program Reflection Process) by ensuring that the capacity, knowledge, and perspectives for doing so is rooted in a cross-divisional group. The AES Assessment Committee’s (AESAC) purpose is to provide support, guidance, and assistance to AES units throughout the college undergoing annual assessment and periodic assessment processes, as well as work to find ways to improve them.

Meetings

During the academic year AESAC meets once a month (the 3rd Thursday of each month), but additional ad hoc meetings may also arise through the academic year. These meetings are designed to ensure all units are supported in initiating activities, assessing the results of such activities, and proposing and implementing ideas to facilitate continuous improvement of student support at the college. Furthermore, the AESAC committee conducts annual assessment of assessment across these units as well to determine ways to improve the support offered in the assessment process.
