Estrella Mountain Institutional Effectiveness Program
Background
In the fall of 1995, Estrella Mountain Community College
began work to develop a way to document institutional effectiveness.
A team was created for the purpose of developing and implementing
a Plan for Institutional Effectiveness (PIE). This team is referred
to as the PIE Team and is responsible for the continued development
and implementation of this Plan. The PIE Team is now in its
eleventh-year
of existence.
The Plan for Institutional Effectiveness is one of nine College-Wide
Plans that are identified in Estrella Mountain’s Strategic Planning
Model. The plan also represents one of three major assessment efforts
in that model. The other formalized assessment efforts include the
Student Academic Achievement Plan and Program Review.
EMCC Institutional Effectiveness Vision

achievement of the College’s Mission and Goals resulting in an exemplary
system of continuous improvement.”
