The annual ceremony recognizing UNT units for excellence in documenting the effectiveness of their programs and services in supporting UNT's mission was held Oct. 20. Due to COVID, this year’s annual ceremony combined the 2020 and 2021 winners.
The institutional effectiveness process at UNT — which complies with the principles of accreditation of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges — is focused on improving UNT’s student learning outcomes and services while increasing student success and institutional quality.
UNT has built institutional effectiveness plans for degree programs and academic departments as well as administrative, academic and student support, research, and public service units. Through these plans, the university can document that each area is identifying expected outcomes, assessing the extent to which it achieves them, and seeking improvement based on an analysis of the results.
The award winners go beyond compliance in their dedication to continuous improvement at UNT.
The 2020 administrative units recognized were:
- Career Center, Division of Student Affairs
- We Mean Green Fund, Division of Student Affairs
The 2021 administrative units recognized were:
- Center for Student Affairs at Discovery Park, Division of Student Affairs
