As students and faculty members returned to the campus for the beginning of the fall 2013 trimester they were greeted by a new look in several of the busiest areas of the Yo San University (YSU) Building. The lead story in this edition of Communi Qi recounts the significant expansion of the YSU Community Clinic, the relocation of the University’s Administrative suite to a remodeled space on the third floor and the installation of new carpeting in the lobby and corridor areas of both the second and third floors. While these completed projects are obvious and concrete reminders of change and renewal, we all need to keep in mind that in a dynamic university environment, such as exists at Yo San, there is more subtle change that is taking place in the form of the never ending refinement of curricula, courses, syllabi, teaching methods, facilities, equipment and administrative procedures. Yo San University is committed to a process of continuous quality improvement on all levels. Refinements in content, process and facilities result only from a comprehensive and cyclical system of assessment where all aspects of University function—academic, social, spiritual, physical, financial, administrative and more —are engaged in a feedback loop of evaluation, data analysis, and improvement. At Yo San we refer to the process succinctly as “Assessment and Action.” That brief phrase affirms that not only are content and process examined and evaluated, but also subsequent changes are proposed, approved and implemented. The assessment loop must be continuous and complete. You are the most important part of the assessment loop. Yo San University faculty, administrators, student government leaders and others depend on your honest and candid feedback so that they can authentically actualize their roles consistent with the University’s commitment to continuous quality improvement. The next time you are asked to participate in a course evaluation, a survey, a focus group, or other assessment process, know that the data and/or narrative feedback that you supply will be a valued part of the University’s commitment to improvement every year, every trimester and every day at every level of our operation. At Yo San University there is a” new look” every day!
