American
Association for Higher Education: Assessment Forum
Mission Statement: The American Association for Higher Education
(AAHE) is a national organization of individuals dedicated to the common
cause of improving the quality of higher education. Our members, much like
our projects, cut across sectors, disciplines, and campus hierarchies to
address collectively the challenges higher education faces. As a diverse
group of individuals, members step beyond their institutional
roles to create a campus-wide perspective. Through this lens, members examine
the changes higher education must make— in both theory and practice — to
ensure its effectiveness in a complex, interconnected world. Through our
programs and projects AAHE, with the help of its members, is able to catalyze
effective change at the campus, state, and national levels.
