In support of Fredonia’s 2018-2022 strategic plan, the mission of the Division of Student Affairs (formerly ESS) is to create pathways to support students in their development of skills leading to personal and academic goals, foster responsible citizenship, and enrich the student experience in a global society.
The Strategic Plan supports the division’s mission and challenges it to work toward its vision - striving to provide transformative pathways where students are empowered to develop as leaders, embrace diversity, and become life-long contributors in a global society.
With divisional core values of Assessment and Accountability, the division is committed to continually evaluating and improving practices in order to hold professionals accountable through the collection and use of assessment evidence.
The Divsion Strategic Plan (2018-2023) has an established goal specific to Assessment. The Divisional Assessment Plan (see link below) outlines the process for Divisional Assessment, the infrastructure to be established in support of the process, the timeline for the process and expected outcomes.
