The Student Success units are aligned with the Strategic Institutional Priorities of the Strategic Plan. As such, assessment of the Student Success units will provide measures of continuous improvement towards the Strategic Institutional Priorities. Additionally, student success units may align with the Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) and provide a co-curricular component of assessment for the General Education curriculum.
Student Success Learning Outcomes
- Self-discovery and Personal Validation – Students develop greater awareness of and appreciation for their strengths, preferences, learning styles and interests. Students exhibit confidence and pride and know how to use talents to best advantage and compensate for areas of weakness.
- Ethical Reasoning and Values-driven behavior – Students are able to assess their own ethical values and think about how different ethical perspectives might be applied to ethical dilemmas. Students’ ethical self-identity evolves as they practice ethical decision-making and analyze positions on ethical issues.
- Academic Achievement – Students access the available services and develop the necessary habits and skills to be able to navigate the curriculum successfully. Students participate fully in the academic life of the University.
- Problem Solving – Students know how to approach problems as a process of designing, evaluating and implementing strategies to answer a question or achieve a desired goal.
- Teamwork – Students understand the importance of individual contributions to the teams’ successful functioning and develop the necessary skills to interact with others and contribute effectively to a team effort.
- Connection and Belonging – Students develop meaningful connections with other students, faculty and staff at the institution and see themselves as part of a community.
