Robert A. Smallwood, Ph.D
Associate Provost for Assessment
University of North Florida

Bob Smallwood is the associate provost for assessment at the University of North Florida, and is responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of a comprehensive student learning outcomes assessment program including the preparation of Academic Learning Compacts in all undergraduate degree programs. Bob came to UNF after having served at universities in Texas and Oklahoma over a 25 year period in such roles as associate vice president for academic affairs, dean of student affairs, division chair of Natural Science and Mathematics, and faculty senate president.

Over the past seven years Bob has given special attention to advancing the use of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) as a tool to heighten awareness of effective educational practices known to facilitate student learning and student development.  His research with faculty perceptions of student engagement has led to his most recent interest in exploring variation in student engagement at the classroom level.
