Welcome to the Georgia Tech Office of Research and Assessment for Student Affairs! As you explore our new site you will learn that our mission is consistent with the Institute's mission of providing leadership, advancing innovation, and providing an ethical and effectively-managed administration.
The staff in the Office of Research and Assessment works closely with the Georgia Tech Office of Assessment in providing information and expertise to all units in Student Affairs for the purpose of measuring and improving student learning and outcomes, and facilitate continuous improvement of programs and services in Student Affairs.
In the fall of each year, directors of units within the Division of Student Affairs contribute to the development of the annual Assessment Plan for the GT Division of Student Affairs. Components of the plan consisted of: (1) Learning and/or Operational Goals; 2) Outcomes; 3) Evaluation Strategies; 4) Methods for Disseminating and Using Information for Improvement; 5) Summary of Results; and 6) Actions Taken. In the spring, each unit within the Division completes the assessment cycle by summarizing findings and identifying ways to use the data for improvement purposes.
Our assessment efforts reflect an increased accountability and commitment to an evidence-based, systematic process of assessment. Based on findings, changes in operational focus, resource allocation, adjustments in rules or procedures, etc. are made to programs and services offered within the Division of Student Affairs.
