["Use of Results:","1. We will continue to aim for at least 5% calendar year increases in enrollment for the Biology undergraduate degree program.  The program has seen consistent increases in enrollment over the past few years due largely to the efforts of the Departmental Recruitment and Retention Committee.  This committee plans and actively participates in high impact recruitment activities (exposure to >500-1000 students) all over the state in addition to making formal presentations at area high schools throughout the academic year. Efforts will be made to increase current student engagement in program recruitment activities."]
["Program Outcome 2"]
["The Biology undergraduate program will provide students with the technical and analytical skills in biology necessary for entry into medical and health professional schools."]
["Assessment Measure:","1. The assessment measure is the number of newly hired faculty with specializations in areas significantly relevant to medical and health professional school preparation. "]
["Assessment Target:","1. At least 3 new faculty members will be hired with specializations or expertise in Medicine, Human Anatomy and Physiology, and Cell Biology. "]
["Assessment Results:","1. The performance target was not met. One new highly skilled faculty member with specializations in Medicine, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and online course development was hired."]
["Use of Results:","1. Although the performance target was not met, the Biology program continues to support faculty in the development of skillsets that will enhance their ability to prepare students for medical and health related professions.  With the addition of a faculty member who is an M.D./PhD, the program will focus on developing one-on-one mentoring relationships with students as well as holding open forums where students may obtain information on health careers and pathways to successful entry into medical/health profession schools. Additional activities include reestablishing, reorganizing, and strengthening student led organizations that focus on health related interests, such as the Pre-Professional Health Association and the Alabama Student Rural Health Association, and reconnecting with alumni who are currently practicing in these health related areas.
