Student Affairs Assessment Leaders (SAAL) provides the opportunity for educators that coordinate assessment for divisions of student affairs to discuss issues to improve their work. Our members lead assessment in divisions of student affairs at a variety of institutions across the U.S. The organization seeks to create an atmosphere where leaders can share and advance conversations related to creating division assessment infrastructure, supporting assessment projects, and documenting student learning as it relates to the academic mission.
If you are responsible for leading assessment efforts within your division, we encourage you to join the conversation.
Become part of a dynamic group of assessment leaders who continuously use data to inform work in divisions of student affairs, committing to the overall success, retention rates, graduation rates, and engagement of all students. SAAL members share ideas and strategies, develop together as professionals, contribute to assessment scholarship, and meet others across the country who are engaging in similar work. See our Mission, Vision, and Values page for more information about SAAL. SAAL members engage in various ways, including: annual meetings and informal gatherings at conferences, structured learning opportunities, a members-only listserv, and through building assessment scholarship with the Journal of Student Affairs Inquiry.
