Student Affairs

One of the unique characteristics of the assessment movement at JMU is that the Division of Student Affairs has always been an equal partner. From the beginning, assessment has been defined to measure 'student growth and development.' Through this intentional expansion of the domains considered relevant to assessment practice, our many programs have had enriched goals and objectives that include much more than cognitive abilities and skill sets; they also include student attitudes, dispositions, and other important characteristics for strong development. Over the years, JMU has broadened and strengthened their assessment work throughout the Division of Student Affairs, and the quality of work currently displayed is among the best in the nation.
