As Executive Director of the Center for Assessment & Research Studies, I oversee CARS’ strategic direction and daily operations, guiding a team of faculty, staff, and graduate assistants who help JMU—and partner institutions—use evidence to improve student learning. I coordinate campus-wide assessment support, mentor future assessment professionals, and advance research that shapes best practices across higher education.
