Student Success Assessment

Assessment in student affairs has become a common focus of professional conferences, a core element of our vernacular, and an integrated component of day-to-day practices. In Assessment Methods for Student Affairs (Jossey-Bass, 2008), John Schuh claims that assessment has become an “essential” component of student affairs professional practice. The essential nature of assessment emerges in an environment in which student affairs practitioners are regularly called upon to tell the performance stories of their programs.
