Inherent in the notion of “excellence” is the belief that we cannot be excellent unless we fully meet the needs of our students and community. To do that requires that we know what those needs are and develop a system for assessing how well our efforts have worked. We must continually refine our data-gathering and planning processes (e.g., student learning outcomes, shared governance, and program planning and assessment), and analyze those findings to set priorities and allocate resources.
