By providing practical advice on how to inform and lead a successful assessment program in student affairs, Coordinating Divisional and Departmental Student Affairs Assessment, 2nd Edition helps student affairs professionals understand the impact of their initiatives, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance student learning, development, and engagement.

Student affairs assessment plays a significant role in shaping the overall college experience. As higher education transforms, there is an even greater demand for student affairs assessment that informs practice, illuminates equity gaps, and improves student learning. This second edition builds upon the concepts of the first edition while adding essential topics that address the changing dynamics of leading assessment in a department or division in student affairs such as how to use and select assessment technology, meaningful ways to collaborate with institutional research, as well as creating equity-centered assessment practices. By utilizing the strategies in this book, student affairs divisions can create evidence-based practices that contribute to a more inclusive and supportive campus environment, foster student engagement, and ultimately enhance the educational journey for students.

This updated and revised edition has been written with new and seasoned assessment practitioners in mind. It’s an ideal resource for graduate students and other student affairs practitioners who seek to find practical information to guide their own assessment practice.

Reviews for Coordinating Divisional and Departmental Student Affairs Assessment

‘This text is a must-read for professionals tasked with planning, conducting, supervising, or using assessment for accountability or improvement purposes. The authors explain and model the need for intentional coordination in order to benefit from actionable assessment results. The diversity of topics paired with exemplars of high-quality assessment practice provide guidance for ""on-the-ground"" assessment activity in addition to strategies to understand and influence organizational culture, policy, and structures.’ Sara J. Finney, PhD, Professor of Graduate Psychology and Associate Director, Center for Assessment and Research Studies, James Madison University ‘This second edition provides practitioners with important, and timely insights on how good assessment can help inform our work at all levels. The authors do a masterful job of leaving no assessment stone unturned and provide student affairs assessment leaders important lessons on how our work continues to be foundational in developing and sustaining strong student affairs organizations – divisionally and departmentally. I especially appreciate this edition’s thoughtful treatment of how incorporating a greater focus on equity can better inform our assessment practices and – importantly – support student success!’ Michael N. Christakis, PhD, Vice President for Student Affairs, University at Albany 'As higher education and student affairs undergoes significant change, there is even more need for assessment that informs practice, illuminates equity gaps, and offers integrated insights on student learning. In this updated 2nd edition, Henning, Bentrim and Yousey-Elsener, appropriately expand their coverage to emphasize departmental student affairs assessment and offer an expert line-up of assessment scholars and practitioners who provide instructive approaches to exceling in this vital professional competency and practical guidance to lead the maturing model of student affairs assessment.’ Jillian Kinzie, Interim Co-Director, National Survey of Student Engagement Indiana University Bloomington
