Student affairs professionals and programs have standards created by the profession. These standards are useful for a variety of purposes (e.g., evaluation, improvement). Importantly, the standards explicitly showcase the commitment of student affairs professionals to outcomes assessment. Below are two presentations and a journal article that provide an introduction to the CAS Standards, the ASK Standards, and the ACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies and map them to the assessment cycle.
