Issue for Consideration

• Collaborative effort in data collection– Online collection started Oct 2014

• Need more efforts for better results on academic & employer survey– Start pre-survey @ faculty level Nov 2014

• University wide effort – research output both volume & quality– Increase internationalization activities

positive impact on academic survey – Engagement with employer & alumni
