External Evaluator | Academic Program Reviewer | Institutional Effectiveness Consultant

I offer professional expertise in conducting external reviews and internal audits of academic programs, with a focus on departments of modern and classical languages, interdisciplinary humanities, and liberal arts degree programs. My approach is grounded in a commitment to evidence-based evaluation, institutional alignment, and strategic program development.

Institutional Review Experience

Over the course of my administrative career, I have authored and evaluated a wide range of documents tied to program health and accountability:

• Institutional Effectiveness Reports: As department chair, I have authored annual reports that integrate assessment data, enrollment trends, and faculty productivity into actionable planning documents.
• Self-Study Documents for External Review: I have led the preparation of multi-year self-studies, coordinating departmental input and aligning documentation with accreditation and institutional review criteria.
• Evaluation of Campus-wide Reports: In addition to my own department’s materials, I have been asked to review and provide feedback on institutional effectiveness reports submitted by other academic units, offering constructive analysis on assessment design, learning outcomes, and data interpretation.

External Reviewer

In 2023, I served as an external reviewer for the University of Central Missouri’s Modern Languages program, conducting a comprehensive review that included:

• Analyzing curriculum structure and alignment with national standards
• Evaluating assessment practices and student learning outcomes
• Reviewing enrollment and retention data
• Meeting with faculty, students, and administrators to assess program strengths and areas for growth
• Providing a written report with short-term recommendations and long-term strategic guidance
