Is it Review Time for Your Department?

If your department is looking for one or more consultants/external reviewers, the Departmental Consulting Service can help you. Is it program review time at your institution? Did your dean request an external review? Is there a specific opportunity or challenge that your department is facing?

Consulting is not one-size-fits-all. Sometimes a department needs a fairly comprehensive evaluation. Sometimes a department needs a consultant for one specific issue, such as revising a degree program or developing a laboratory. We can help you find consultants to meet your needs.

One of the nice things about DCS is that our matching service is provided at no cost to you. Note that departments are expected to cover travel costs for consultants and provide an honorarium to be negotiated with each consultant. But DCS will not charge you for providing a list of qualified consultants.

If you'd like to get started, just contact me at kreiner@ucmo.edu. I'll ask you for some detailed information about what your needs are, then I'll match that with our list of approved consultants.
