Graduate Students

Introducing the New Co-Facilitators of the Graduate Students' CoP

In order to best serve our graduate student members, the Graduate Students Community of Practice will be co-facilitated by both an experienced higher education assessment professional, Dr. Robin Anderson, and a graduate student whose discipline is assessment in higher education, Kimberly R. Marsh, M.A.

Dr. Anderson is the Academic Unit Head for the Department of Graduate Psychology at James Madison University where she teaches Assessment Consultation and Performance Assessment in the University’s Assessment and Measurement Ph.D. program. She also serves as Program Director for JMU’s Higher Education Specialist Online Graduate Certificate program. Her research examines issues of validity in higher education assessment. Previously, Dr. Anderson served as the Associate Director of JMU’s Center for Assessment and Research Studies and spent six-years as an assessment professional within the Virginia Community College System.

Welcome to the new discussion boards!

For those of you who were members prior to the site rebuild, you'll see things are slightly different now. The landing page for each group is now intended as an administrator announcement area while general group discussion is now located in the group's forum. You may also be wondering what happened to the old content that was here. Our new software/setup isn't entirely compatible with the that of the old site's so we decided to make a fresh start and will be archiving the old posts. We aim to have those available to those interested very soon.

It's likely there will be some growing pains for a short time while we get used to the new site (it's foolish to think otherwise), so feel free to contact me if you run into any problems.
