The Charge

This edition of The Charge shares insights, achievements and more in the Division of Student Affairs during the 2021-2022 academic year. After a tough year of learning and working through a pandemic, many Student Affairs departments were able to apply lessons learned during times of continuous change. Despite ongoing challenges, Student Affairs staff made immense efforts to provide positive student experiences and support this past year—no matter the circumstance.

How to work with us
 

  • Assessment liaisons
    Every unit has a designated assessment liaison that attends monthly meetings. We discuss plans for the semester, reporting requirements and share information about training opportunities. Individuals should check in with their assessment liaison if they are interested in working with Planning, Assessment and Data Analytics. The assessment liaison is responsible for developing the unit's assessment plan. This assessment plan guides the priorities and work happening related to the unit’s assessment.   
     
  • Training and skill development opportunities
    Planning, Assessment and Data Analytics  holds a variety of relevant and valuable training opportunities for the division. These trainings include a reporting series and Microsoft Excel series. Most opportunities are only an hour and can fit easily into anyone’s schedule.
