D’Allegro to participate in Planning and Institutional Assessment program

Dr. Mary Lou D’Allegro, Senior Director of Planning, Research, and Assessment at Penn State Berks, will participate in Penn State University’s Office of Planning and Institutional Assessment program titled “Learning about Recent Team Improvement Initiatives” on Friday, January 28, 2011, from 8:30–10:00 a.m., in room 508 of the Rider Building at Penn State University Park campus.
 
Since 1991, more than 900 innovation and improvement teams across the University have identified ways to streamline processes and enhance results. This Quality Advocates presentation highlights what three units have done to operate more efficiently and effectively.

D’Allegro will discuss how Penn State Berks focused our campus planning efforts on improving internal operations and meeting the growing needs and expectations of our students. Implementation of the plan included development of a scorecard to focus and allocate resources, clarify responsibilities within the plan, and track progress.
 
The Quality Advocates Network meets several times each semester to share ideas and examples of improvement and innovation. All Penn State faculty, staff, administrators, and students are welcome. Meetings typically include a combination of presentation and discussion about Penn State initiatives related to planning, improvement, and assessment, and allow ample time for questions and comments.
