In 1971, Evergreen welcomed its first students. The 1,000-acre campus and 3,000-foot Puget Sound beachfront became a living laboratory for creative and scientific inspiration and research. Since then, the college has earned accolades from national publications; Princeton Review, Fiske Guide, U.S. News & World Report, and Sierra Magazine, regularly rank Evergreen as a top college.
In their 2017-19 Strategic Action Plan the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) defines two state goals to be attained by 2023:
All adults in Washington will have a high school diploma or equivalent
At least 70 percent of Washington adults will have a postsecondary education
The overarching big question for this class will be: What policy strategies would be most effective in achieving these goals? In the process, we will explore the role and limitations of state policy in addressing state education goals, always keeping the focus on what Washington is doing to address these issues.
The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment works to improve educational effectiveness through the assessment of teaching and learning, the evaluation of educational practices and services, and the ongoing reporting of demographic and evaluative data for institutional decision making and external reporting.
