General Education Pathways Assessment Committee (GEPAC)


The faculty-led General Education Pathways Assessment Committee (GEPAC)'s main purpose is to provide support, guidance, and assistance of the assessment process to faculty responsible for the general education courses that are included in the CUNY Pathways initiative. GEPAC members are responsible for:
  • Promoting a culture of assessment through regular communication and collaboration
  • Supporting departments / units in the assessment process of CUNY Pathways General Education program
  • Reviewing assessment data and providing recommendations to enhance the learning of Pathways outcomes
  • Assisting departments / units in implementing changes in the assessment process
The GEPAC 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. In addition to the Director of Assesment, faculty affiliated with the various departments that have courses affiliated with the Pathways area being assessed are convened to plan out and implement the assessment process across the courses. Although it is primarily the faculty members who are responsible for the process, the Director of Assessment works to enhance communication of assessment across the academic departments and the administrative offices that support them.
