BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITY Office of the President October 5, 1988 An open letter to the faculty and staff of Bloomsburg University: Good communication is important to each of us; it's important to you, and it's important to me.

Here are just a few examples of the many the Office of Career assessment activities we have undertaken: survey Development has conducted a of graduates on an annual basis since the 1960's; a number of academic departments have conducted follow-up surveys of their graduates; Bloomsburg has participated in the ACE freshman survey since 1977; and many departments and offices presently conduct periodic evaluations. Some of you may remember when our first Planning Commission was formed in 1973, and many of you are familiar with the work that has been done on student assessment which has been coordinated The Middle States review for which all of by Mark Melnychuck. us are preparing is in itself an assessment activity. Assessment and planning are not independent functions; rather, assessment is central to our strategic planning process. Both continue to be important -- assessment as a way of looking at ourselves and the impact we have on our various constituents and planning as a means of integrating the goals, priorities, and budgeting activities of the university.

We encourage ongoing dialogues on issues of concern to the university community and society in general. These values are central to the institution's educational mission, v^hich states: "it is a goal of the university to integrate academic programs, cultural activities, and interpersonal relations to promote intellectual growth and social responsibility among its students. The university seeks to extend the academic environment from the classroom into other student activities.
