Description
Recently, there has been a national call for accountability for student learning in higher education. The student affairs profession has slowly begun to respond to this call. It is essential for student affairs practitioners to create a culture of assessment in order to provide students an excellent co-curricular experience where learning is a priority. The Division of Student Affairs at West Chester University provides a diverse and extensive co-curricular program. The extent of assessment practice in the division is in need of improvement and expansion so as to meet the external accreditation mandates and the internal demand for excellence, accountability, and contribution to student learning. This project used department director and senior manager interviews and document review to examine the extent of assessment practice. The study also compared West Chester University's assessment practice to other comparable institutions. The evaluation results produced eleven recommendations to resolve identified omissions in and strengthen the current assessment practices.
