Abstract
The emphasis of societal impact has affected colleges like never before. This change has led the University of Texas at Dallas’ Jindal School of Management (JSOM) to create an assessment template to capture and measure what is being done at the program level to better the society it affects. Like any program that focuses on the assessment of a program and its students, the overarching goal of this proposal is to provide information to an audience that not only has benefited the school, but also the student. In addition, with the model used in our School of Management, we also impact society: those we reach, and those who reach out to us. In addition, creating a sense of belonging for our students is at the forefront of what we do, and that is assisted by providing projects as well as academics that measure what a person contributes to the finished product. We are an academic program that transcends the walls of the school and reaches society as a whole.
