Academic Assessment

The Provost's Academic Innovation Series

Established in 2005, the Provost’s Academic Innovation Series was created as part of the university’s commitment to supporting professional development opportunities for faculty and staff.  The Innovation Series brings nationally recognized educators to campus to share innovative ideas and programs. Presentation themes are identified for the purpose of stimulating and enhancing campus dialogue and thought on topics directly related to Eastern’s on-going strategic planning initiatives and university mission.
