Assessment, communications, and fundraising have unique purposes, processes, and outcomes. Each one is vital to Divisions of Student Affairs. In addition, there is often opportunity for the three functional areas to overlap and create synergy to meet a variety of goals and communicate the value of investing in student affairs. In this session, learn how assessment merges these areas to weave a story that is not only data driven, but that is relevant to institutional and external stakeholders.
In recent years, student affairs divisions have been more formally charged with assessing programs and services for effectiveness and student learning. In addition, divisions have focused on “telling our story” to a variety of internal and external audiences. Institutions and divisions have also faced budget challenges, putting more emphasis on external funding sources. Now more than ever, staff need to be skilled in telling evidence-based stories that motivate donors to support the important work of student affairs. Through collaborative efforts, staff can be more strategic in telling a compelling story that highlights student success.
