Assessment/EvaluationAnnual Fall SurveyFocus Group with StudentsConclusion InsightsTeamwork is the KEYPatience is a MUST
Immunity to Change Issue Some staff with numerous years of service only do whats minimally required of their jobs. They never try to learn anything new to enhance the services offered to patrons.Commitment to this issue- The Dean/Managers encourage all staff to attend various workshops and conferences.Big Assumptions They dont want to learn anything new. The University doesnt have any money to support professional development opportunities.
