Assessment of students' co-curricular experience is a priority of the Division of Student Affairs at Marquette and is one of the five goals outlined in our Strategic Plan. There are several purposes for the robust system of assessment that Student Affairs has put in place:

• to collect and report data about students, their success, and their needs/interests
• to measure the effectiveness of Student Affairs programs and interventions in meeting our intended outcomes for student learning and growth, and
• to determine student satisfaction with their Marquette experience and their interactions with our departments and programs. 

This site contains a wealth of information about students, their experiences, and the assessment process.  Visit the following areas of the site for more information:
