This initiative allows campuses to take a holistic approach to assessment in order to better document and understand data related to:
- student experiences and learning outcomes
- operational benchmarking
- leadership best practices
More than 50 institutions took part in the inaugural year of the Consortium, to great acclaim. Reports indicate participation resulted in enhanced services, maximized resources, and the advancement of institutional goals.
The mission of the Consortium is to guide and support college and university efforts in assessment, analysis, and knowledge creation to further the practice of Student Affairs.
The Consortium was developed in response to requests for NASPA to help in pulling together the varied pieces of assessment so members could better see the big picture. By providing beneficial connections between institutions, associations, data points, professionals, and promising practices, NASPA has taken the lead in developing a credible agenda for basic benchmarking and assessment practice.
