Who is Flossy? Flossy is the flossing turtle, the Assessment Team’s mascot, who represents the persistence and consistency required to engage in effective assessment. To read all about Flossy’s origin story, visit our website.
This year, the Division of Student Life is conducting 26 assessments to learn more about student experiences, student needs, quality and usage of programs/services, and impact of student leadership roles. To support our assessment efforts, the Assessment Team and Flossy will host several “Assessment Lunch & Learn” (ALL) events for staff to explore and practice assessment strategies and tools. This winter term’s ALL events are about Formative Assessment on January 19 and about Focus Groups on February 16.
