Over a third of our students participate in some form of experiential learning. Check-point, an early intervention program, provides a mechanism to assess, educate, counsel, and refer campus alcohol policy violators. In addition, faculty members are involved in an Advisory Committee and an Infusion Project to introduce prevention topics into the curriculum. In one respect, we cannot know about the effectiveness of our work until the student has lived a complete life - then of course, we can only know through reputation and life activities, not through private struggles or abstention from activities that might harm. Still, we are obligated to try to find some way of assessing the effectiveness of our curricular and extracurricular programs.
Every major goes through a program review every five years.
We now expect faculty to address the area of values, and we have surveyed alumni about the impact of the major on the graduate's way of thinking and life goals.
