Hard work doesn’t go unnoticed here at Missouri State University. Assessment and the Council on General Education and Intercollegiate Programs (CGEIP) partnered together to honor seven General Education faculty who went above and beyond on their 2015–2016 Annual Assessment Reports. These outstanding faculty members were honored at the All-Faculty Recognition Reception hosted by the Office of the Provost on May 2, 2017.

We would like to show our appreciation to the following faculty for their hard work in moving Missouri State assessment forward. Thank you not only for your hard work, but for allowing us to share your reports as an example to faculty who fill out Annual Assessment Reports in the future.
