  • to avail of fresh perspectives from colleagues outside Memorial
  • to provide an occasion for units and programs to identify new opportunities and find ways to pursue them
  • to evaluate the quality, success, and role of academic units and programs in the fulfillment of their own and the University's mission and strategic goals


The APR process is organized into three parts: the Self-Study, the Review by the Review Panel, and Follow-Up.
