Institutional Effectiveness is committed to continuous review, assessment, change and experimentation to support the fulfillment of the college's vision and mission.

Institutional Effectiveness utilizes a data-driven planning process that is focused on outcomes. Assessment of the college plays a central role in this planning process.

  • To develop an on-going and integrated institution-wide planning process
  • To develop an integrated and systemic Institutional Effectiveness program for all units of GGC
