Howard University has a well-established legacy of collaboration in support of excellence in truth and service. Since Institutional Research and Assessment is an outward-facing unit, we strive to carry out that mission through purposeful engagement with the Howard University community to make the process of assessment applicable, transparent, and accessible. Additionally, we aim to offer Howard community members opportunities for professional development while engaging in the assessment process.
We invite Howard faculty, staff, students, and alumni to participate in the Howard Interdisciplinary Evaluation and Assessment Society (IDEAS) and the Summer Howard University Meta-Assessment (HUMA).
IDEAS is an informal assessment committee that meets once quarterly to discuss the annual assessment process (HAAP) and evaluate its efficacy. IDEAS is intentionally designed to be interdisciplinary, creating a forum for multiple perspectives and voices on assessment challenges and best practices.
Howard University Meta-Assessment (HUMA) is the flagship peer assessment program at IRA. It is our strategic peer review process focused on continuous improvement of program assessment activities, policies, and procedures carried out at Howard University for the improvement of educational effectiveness.
