Lake Forest College Assessment Committee
Mission Statement
At Lake Forest College, our mission is to provide an educational experience of the highest quality for our students. The College’s mission statement reflects an on-going process of re-evaluation, suggestions for improvement, implementation of modifications, and feedback to achieve this goal. The Assessment Subcommittee aims to facilitate this process by providing a structure for assessment, a support system for analyzing and interpreting data, and a means of communicating results of the assessment process to the College community.
Goals
