Amber Nelms served as a faculty member in the Radiologic Technology program for 15 years at Northeast Mississippi Community College. While a faculty member, she served for many years on the Professional Development Committee at the institution, was a campus leader through the integration of iPads into the classroom (through a 1:1 iPad initiative), and served for 8 years as a peer-reviewer for the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Through her programmatic accreditation experiences, she realized that there was a great need to assist both faculty and staff with working through the assessment process to make it more meaningful and manageable. When an opportunity presented itself to move into her new role as the Director of Institutional Effectiveness, she saw it as a challenge to help others with the assessment process across the institution. She has a Master of Arts degree in Higher Education and Student Personnel from the University of Mississippi and is currently a doctoral student in the Professional Studies/Higher Education program at Delta State University. She began in June 2019 as a member of the 11th cohort of the Mississippi Community College Leadership Academy. Her main research interests center around effective outcomes assessment for continuous improvement.
