Katie Boyd

Dr. Katie Boyd is the Associate Director of Academic Assessment at Auburn University and leads programming to support assessment activities of all academic degree programs at Auburn.  Her role is largely focused on improving the quality of programmatic assessment by implementing meta-assessment across the approximately 250 programs offered. Collaborative in nature, Auburn’s meta-assessment provides high quality and consistent feedback to programs.  She graduated from Virginia Tech with a PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, where her research was focused on measuring implicit leadership theories and the impact of subordinate relationships on leader behaviors. While in Virginia she helped prepare academic leaders for their new leadership roles and studied the dynamic relationships between department chairs and faculty. Katie worked as the Director of Analysis with Acelero, an early childhood education provider with a unique outcomes-focused approach to providing educational services to young children, prior to becoming an Assessment Specialist at Auburn University.  Her research and career has largely focused on improving higher education operations, from academic leadership to her current focus on programmatic student learning.
