The faculty-led Degree Program Assessment Committee (DPAC) was established in Fall 2020. The DPAC's main purpose is to provide support, guidance, and assistance of the assessment process to program coordinators for all of the academic degree programs throughout the college that undergo annual assessment and periodic assessment processes. DPAC members are responsible for:

• Promoting a culture of assessment through regular communication and collaboration
• Supporting program coordinators in their assessment process
• Reviewing and providing feedback on the Annual Planning and Assessment Reports
• Providing guidelines and support for the Academic Program Review process

The DPAC is chaired by the Director of Assessment, Associate Professor AJ Stachelek, who manages college-wide assessment efforts through program oversight, professional development, collaboration, and communication. The Director of Assessment reports to the Institutional Effectiveness Committee (IEC) to facilitate institutional analysis for the assessment process beyond the individual degree programs.

In addition to the Director of Assesment, the following members are part of DPAC:
 

Name	Title / Position	Department / Office
Marcella Bencivenni	Professor of History	Behavioral and Social Sciences Department
Catherine Lewis	Associate Professor of Media Design	Humanities Department
Yoel Rodriguez	Professor of Physics	Natural Sciences Department
Sanjay Arya	Assistant Professor of Radiologic Technology	Allied Health Department
Babette Audant	Dean of Academic Affairs and Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Assessment	Office of Academic Affairs and Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Assessment
Piotr Kocik	Senior Director of Institutional Research and Data Analysis	Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Assessment

Although it is primarily the faculty members who are responsible for the process, the two additional members from the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Assessment, enhance communication of assessment across the academic departments and the administrative offices that support them.
