Division of Student Life Vision Student Life will be a transformative presence in all our students lives, equipping them to make a positive impact on society. Division of Student Life Values Values are the foundational principles and qualities upon which our division lives out its mission and vision. Central to these values is our commitment to our Christian faith and the belief that our work is enriched by the fulfillment of God s call in our lives. It is within this context, as displayed by our attention to individual student needs as well as our love and commitment to the broader student body, that we value: Transformational Learning discovered through an integration of mind, body, and spirit Leadership Development cultivated through education, experience, reflection, and a call to impact human flourishing Inclusive Community evidenced by diversity, uniqueness, understanding, and unity as a staff Healthy Lives modeled by a vigorous life and work balance and ongoing sense of fulfillment Professional Excellence guided by best practices, current research, purposeful assessment, dynamic partnerships, and wise stewardship

2 Division of Student Life Goals Guided by this mission, the University s strategic vision, the wisdom of our professional discipline, and most of all, our common Christian faith, Student Life cultivates an environment that nurtures calling, wholeness, community, and citizenship. Student Life: Supports students as they discern God s paths, plans, and purposes. We help students discover calling. Fosters healthy living, joyful experience, passionate scholarship, and depth of faith. We develop the whole student. Encourages meaningful relationships, Christian hospitality, and charity in all things. We build community. Inspires and equips students to transform the world. We cultivate global citizenship. Division of Student Life Acts of Determination (still being reviewed) Acts of determination are prioritized division wide initiatives that will help Student Life achieve its goals. As we seek to cultivate global citizenship, build community on campus, help students understand calling and develop the whole student, the division will focus on the following Acts of Determination for the next two to three years: To instill Baylor graduates with the ability to lead and serve we will develop and implement a comprehensive multi year leadership. A well thought out and wide reaching model of leadership and service will be the foundation upon which divisional programs, services, and advocacy efforts are planned, resourced, carried out, and assessed. Central to this model are the foundational principles of the Christian faith and the ability to navigate within a complex global society. To cultivate student understanding of the rich diversity God has created we will integrate crosscultural competency education through division programs, staff development, and community partnerships. By enhancing the ability of our students and staff to talk and work across differences, we will develop Christian leaders who will advocate for and support social justice on campus and beyond. To equip students to thrive we will foster educational initiatives that help students develop a stronger sense of health, equanimity, and. Guiding students as they mature in stewardship of themselves and care for community will require an intentional approach to teaching, supporting, and modeling healthy lifestyle choices, resiliency skills, and meaningful spiritual practices. To create vibrant learning and faith formative environments we will develop spaces across campus and in the community that create synergy and renewal. Much work has been done, yet much is still needed, to create dynamic settings for students to engage in experiential learning, contemplation, recreation, and social interaction. Partnering with others will be essential in order to construct new and to repurpose existing spaces. Page 2

The assessment cycle is an integral part of transformative education. It provides an ongoing mechanism for challenging tacit assumptions about program effectiveness, identifying conflicting program elements, and assuring that student learning outcomes are met. As shown in the graphic below, our approach to assessment involves four steps: Revise program to inprove learning Define intendend learning outcomes Measure selected learning outcomes Step one is to define intended learning outcomes: more specifically, what do we want our students to know, do or value as a result of participating in counseling services programs? Step two is to measure the extent to which participants achieve the learning outcomes. Compare outcomes with intended outcomes Step three is to interpret the results to identify areas for improvement. Step four is to use the identified areas for improvement to revise programming in order to increase student learning. Page 18
