Assessment in Student Affairs: Tough Times Call for Good Measures
The ACPA Student Affairs Assessment
Institute will be held June 18-20 in Austin, Texas.
In the last two decades, legislative
bodies, students, and parents have demanded greater accountability from
higher education. Student affairs divisions are not exempt from this
challenge. As educators, we are called upon to assess the impact our
programs and services have on students in areas such as leadership development,
critical thinking, ethical development, and interpersonal relations.
The 2009 ACPA Student Affairs Assessment Institute is designed primarily
for student affairs professionals new to assessment to develop the assessment
skills and knowledge to meet these emergent needs, but will also be
of interest to other higher education professionals seeking to build
assessment skills.
Keynote speakers include John H. Schuh,
Trudy W. Banta, Susan R. Komives and Marilee Bresciani.
