Jessica Evans, Ed.D., has had extensive training in higher education, specifically in the areas of assessment and accreditation. She completed her dissertation while serving as the assistant director of assessment and accreditation at Murray State University, and through her experience implementing software to assess university programs, she became interested in the importance of data management and its role in the assessment process.
Dr. Evans stresses that assessment and accreditation are essential to ensure that students receive a quality education, especially for those who may have limited options as to where they attend college. Assessment and accreditation provide necessary credentials for students seeking to continue their education or professional development.
