Student Learning OutcomesA Student Learning Outcome for this program was established over a year ago. It followsbelow, and is under reconsideration. It could be that the program could be better servedby a different SLO however, no assessment has taken place.Student Learning OutcomeAs a result of participating in Student Senate, clubs and/or the honor society, studentswill increase their involvement in the District shared governance and college committees.Assessment:The Dean of Students Office will make students aware through fliers andannouncements of community and campus events, as well as special activitiessuch as Disability Awareness Day, Huck Finn Day, and Welcome Day. The Deanof Students Office will do a survey of students to see if they are participating incollege and community events. The objective is to insure that students are gettingacquainted and are comfortable with the campus and community.Evaluation:The survey of the students as well as records of attendance at campus andcommunity events will be compiled and notice taken of any student who has notbeen participating. Staff will check with those students not participating to inquire ifthey are facing obstacles and if they would like to be more involved, and also seewhat can be done to assist them.Program SummaryStudent clubs and organizations make up a vital part of the student learning experienceand provide connections to students, building a sense of community.While clubs and organizations would seem to be largely student driven, they alsodepend on the participation and support of faculty, staff and administration. The extent towhich members of all these groups have stepped forward to support students in thisalternative learning format is remarkable. This program is a low cost growth area thatsupports our overarching sense of community and contributes to the vitality of a positivelearning environment.- 171 -
