Intended Administrative or Educational Support Objective:
1. Promote the leadership growth of the Student Government Association.
First Means of Assessment for Objective Identified Above:
1a. Means of Unit Assessment & Criteria for Success:
Tabulate the number of student members in the Student Government
Association (SGA) senate, executive, judicial branches and compare this
figure to the amount of members in the past. The contact information
form, which lists this information, will be compared and a 3% increase
in participation is expected from the prior year.
1a. Summary of Assessment Data Collected:
SGA student membership increased by 62% from 2001-2002 to 2002-2003.
This growth took place in both the senate and judicial branches. The
increase experienced by the Senate Branch can be attributed to the growth
rate of Texas A&M International University. However, there is clear
indication that student participation superseded the expected growth
rates for this time period.
1a. Use of Results to Improve Unit Services:
The results will be used to determine whether or not SGA membership
is growing, which will correspondingly indicate increased student involvement
in campus life. In addition, these results will be used to promote
student representation on campus. This information will also be used
to explore what avenues best promote student awareness of campus-wide
issues.
