Student Life Assessment

Student Life Assessment: Assessing the Impact of Student Learning

For 12 years, Planning and Assessment has ensured that services provided to students facilitate their learning and allow them to be successful. To view a year-by-year analysis of Division progress in assessment of student learning in Student Life programs and services, click here. We are committed to planning and aligning the outcomes of programs and activities beyond the classroom to university-wide and accreditation-based core competencies: critical thinking, oral communication, written communication, quantitative reasoning, and information literacy, as shown here.

Assessment of student learning outcomes in Student Life at Pacific is holistically driven, and strengthened by collaboration and cross departmental communication. We collaborate with Institutional Research for data management and reporting purposes. Our co-curricular services provided to students are grounded in our mission and are strengthened by intentionally using assessment results and recommendations to improve student learning. Thus, assessment is critical to division and university processes. Being culturally responsive is key, and you can find essential culturally responsive resources here
