| Abstract:
Experienced faculty developers who are leaders in the field of faculty development in higher education settings were contacted via an anonymous web-based survey to collect valuable and practical lessons learned from their vast experience. One of the questions was about assessing and demonstrating impact of their development programs. 42 participants responded to the survey and this presentation will highlight insights gained by grouping them into seven broad categories. Among the issues brought up to assess impact was keeping track of how many faculty attend training programs and what they say about the usefulness of the topics. To demonstrate impact, one advice was to document everything in a detailed annual report and 'planting' stories in the local campus publications to maintain visibility.

| Abstract:
This presentation will critically discuss internal and external evaluation methods and results covering the first two years of a multi-year federal higher education Title III grant award. Two grant components will be highlighted; the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) and Supplemental Instruction (SI). Of particular interest in this presentation will be the unique challenges the college has experienced due to the success and growth in student interest ACE has generated. Formative findings indicate success in ACE and SI is due to administrative support and buy in from faculty in promoting a supportive culture for organizational change.
