Through assessment, West Virginia University's Division of Student Life will generate evidence to assist with decision making within the division regarding the efficiency, effectiveness, and appropriateness of programming, budget allocations and resource management.
Why is WVU Student Life committed to assessment?
- We are educators who are committed to student learning and improving that learning.
- We are committed to being responsible stewards of the resources granted to us.
- The decline in State budgetary support as well as varying enrollment numbers have resulted in uncertainty of budget allocations, and we understand we must be accountable for the use of resources and through assessment we can demonstrate our commitment to that accountability.
- Assessment results and utilization of results should be included in accreditation reports and strategic plans.
- Stakeholders, students, and colleagues will have greater confidence in our work when we can show evidence of successes and adjustments in our work based on assessment results.
- We want to be able to tell our story in the most effective and efficient manner.
