Student Affairs Assessment and Planning

The Student Affairs Assessment and Planning team supports units within student affairs in incorporating assessment into the programs and services provided to students. Assessment ranges from tracking participation rates to measuring student satisfaction, student learning, and program effectiveness, with the goals to:

  • Identify student needs;
  • Understand students’ experiences;
  • Ensure programs and services support student development;
  • Improve services, outcomes, and campus climate; and
  • Plan for Student Affairs priorities.

The Assessment and Planning team strives to advance a culture of assessment-driven work; shares best practices to support unit-level assessment efforts; and provides leadership to improve assessment design and data validity. The team then utilizes the assessment process and learnings to create strategies to meet the priorities of the Student Affairs.
