Academic Year 2022-23 Direction

In fall 2022, we planned sunset the co-curricular learning outcomes and write goals specific to Student Affairs priorities, which include wellness and student success. This work is ongoing. To prepare for writing new learning outcomes, Student Affairs has chosen a sample of the current co-curricular learning outcomes that we anticipate will align with Student Affairs goals and priorities moving forward. These include:

B. Holistic Development	Personal growth in mind, body and spirit that contributes to forming the whole person.	Engage in behaviors that promote health and wellness. Acknowledge personal strengths and growth areas. Use reflective thinking to expand self-knowledge, growth and maturity. Articulate and scrutinize personal values and beliefs.
C. Social Development	The ability to form and manage healthy interpersonal relationships.	Manage and resolve interpersonal conflicts.
D. Intercultural Development	Skills and characteristics that support understanding and appropriate interaction in a variety of cultural contexts.	Display curiosity about other cultures.
E. Social Justice	A commitment to service with and for others.	Demonstrate a habit of service to the community of which they are a part. Demonstrate knowledge of root causes of social justice issues. Demonstrate empathy and compassion for those they serve.

Academic Year 2023-24 Direction

Student Affairs will look to convene a working group to focus on writing learning outcomes and developing measures to assess those as well as make recommendations about the composition and scope of Student Affairs Assessment Team.
