alumni tracking methods
• Consider acquisition of software to assist in the tracking process
2) Establish a local chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing
to encourage networking opportunities, emphasize the importance of professional growth
and accomplishment, inspire students and graduates to program success provide
continuing access to professional role models
Action Plan
• Research steps for establishing the chapter and develop a timeline for implementation
• Identify a faculty member to coordinate the project
3) Further refine data gathering mechanisms and processes to ensure valid assessment results
and efficient data collection
Action Plan
• Evaluate the assessment processes and procedures (instruments, timelines, data
analysis techniques, etc.) after initial implementation during and at the close of the
2008-09 academic year
• Coordinate with the College Institutional Research Committee to improve processes
and analyses
