Philadelphia Higher Education Assessment Leaders 

The Philadelphia Higher Education Assessment Leaders (PHEAL) group was formed by Drexel University in 2014 in order to provide a forum for assessment practitioners in Philadelphia-area institutions to share best practices, offer presentations, invite guest speakers, and engage in topical discussions of mutual interest and currency. Additionally, PHEAL offers assessment professionals a platform with which to engage in advocacy activities on issues that impact the profession.

Program Alignment & Review

The Office of the Provost is committed to an ongoing, comprehensive plan to continuously and formally review programs and the overall structure and alignment of instruction and research at Drexel, ensuring relevance, quality, and measurable achievement. This process is being overseen by the Program Alignment and Review (PAR) Committee, appointed by the Provost.
