Director for Institutional Effectiveness 

Ms. Hamilton is responsible for integration of data gathering and analysis to support planning and decision making across all areas of the college. She came to Cascadia in August 2009 after 7 years at Lake Washington Technical College (LWTC).  

She held several progressively more responsible positions at LWTC including Assistant Director of Enrollment Services and Coordinator of Instructional Services, each with a critical connection to data research and assessment. Over the last seven years she has led design teams for multiple campus-wide tools used for improving retention. She has collaborated on solutions to assist in meeting accountability standards, such as a 360-degree program review for administrators, an automated degree audit system for students, and an online tenure portfolio process for faculty.

Prior to working in the Washington community college system, Ms. Hamilton served as Assistant Registrar at McMurry University in Texas. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s in education from the University of Washington with an emphasis on assessment and accreditation.
