My Assessment Snapshot
The Institute is sitting on a great deal of potential. However, there is no long term vision/mission or collaborative plan to make the Institute into a School that extends down to the entire organization.
I feel one of our strengths as a school and institute is that we look to helping the community more than other schools. However, one thing we struggle with is acting and making good decisions based on this motivation.
The institute is in a flux…The programs are becoming independent but they are not of the same quality and focus.
We need to develop processes among us so that we are efficient in delivering a quality education to our students [and] where all faculty can pursue their research so that both the undergrad and grad programs can benefit.

I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day.

On a typical day, I have no chance to learn anything new.
The success of the Institute is the arrangement of frequent meetings, various activities for student engagement, and the very open and friendly communication between all involved.

It is the newness of our words to
each other that creates the
groundwork for changes in
practices. Each time we come
together, we have the capacity to
transform our experience.Peter Block
Thank you!
