Assessment Description
Research suggests that outcomes of students being fully engaged in campus life include improved grades, higher retention and graduation rates, and socioemotional wellness. Engaging students in co-curricular activities, such as recreational activities, clubs and organizations, student government, residential life, spiritual life, and organized social activities, bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world experiences.

An overview of the mission and vision of a student affairs department.
At least 2-3 goals for developing or enhancing student engagement, and building and maintaining the university community.
For each goal, develop programming to be organized and overseen by the department that is designed to engage students in building and maintaining university community.
How the programming promotes individual self-efficacy in diverse higher education students to increase student engagement and improve community.
Support your strategic plan with 3-5 scholarly resources.
