The Administrative Department Review process enhances the contributions of the administrative, co-curricular and support services units of Saint Mary’s College (herein called “administrative departments” or “departments”) to the mission and strategic direction of the College as a transformative learning environment. This “ADR” process supports administrative departments in maintaining highest standards of operations and in fostering culture toward continual improvement, providing an opportunity for each department to discuss and further develop plans for how their campus roles and educational and/or administrative goals support the College-wide Strategic Plan, division-level priorities, and other success metrics. The college’s Institutional Effectiveness Committee, which is charged with ensuring continuous quality improvement across the College, will support and track this process.
