The mission of the Stony Brook University Office of Educational Effectiveness (OEE) is to provide leadership and support in implementing high-quality processes to measure both student learning and administrative outcomes to sustain and advance excellence. OEE supports academic and administrative units in planning, assessment, evaluation, and accreditation functions to foster a culture of continuous improvement. 

Our vision is to create a collaborative culture of sustainable, cyclical assessment processes and accreditation at all levels of the University to advance and sustain academic and administrative excellence.

Our values include accountability, integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Our goals are the following: 

• • • To lead, promote and develop campus-wide assessment initiatives in measuring student learning and administrative outcomes.
    • To provide strategic advice and consultation to faculty, staff, and leadership in the development, implementation, and evaluation of programs, projects, and activities across the university.
    • To develop opportunities and resources for communication and sharing of assessment and accreditation best practices.
    • To provide administrative leadership and support of the accreditation process for both campus accreditation and individual program accreditation.
