Assessment

“Assessment is any effort to gather, analyze, and interpret evidence which describes institutional, divisional, or agency effectiveness.”
Upcraft & Schuh, p18

As part of its mission to advance the existing culture of assessment, the Office of Assessment and Strategic Initiatives helps departments across the Division of Student Life collect and analyze data to enhance knowledge, guide practice, and inform decision-making.

OASI provides training and resources to help departments successfully navigate the following:

  • Identification of student learning and program goals that align with the Division Tactical and University Strategic plans,
  • Development and management of activity codes,
  • Assessment and evaluation of program effectiveness, including survey administration using Anthology’s Baseline solution,
  • Preparation and facilitation of program reviews

Quote from Upcraft, M.L., & Schuh, J.H. (1996). Assessment in student affairs. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.
