Partnering with Faculty to Foster a Culture of Assessment at a Small-Medium Sized University

What if assessment wasn’t something we had to do, but something we were excited to do together? This presentation reimagines assessment as a collaborative, empowering process by partnering with faculty to build a stronger culture of evidence and improvement at Nevada State University, a medium-sized teaching university. Through creative collaboration, transparency, and data storytelling, we can transform assessment from a compliance exercise into a shared journey toward better teaching and learning. Viewers will explore practical strategies to engage faculty as co-creators of meaningful assessment, aligned with both program goals and institutional mission. Real examples from Nevada State illustrate how faculty-led initiatives, professional development, and peer networks are helping shift mindsets. You will leave with actionable ideas for strengthening assessment culture through authentic faculty engagement to make assessment engaging, purposeful, and sustainable.
