Measure 2

2021 Status
Not Yet Achieved
Average scores have decreased. We assume this is - at least, in part - due to COVID (online / hybrid programming), inability to immerse students in community settings during COVID. We aim to revisit and rebuild our community engagement programs in order to bolster student civic learning and increased SLO scores.

Measure 1

Archived
This assessment is no longer being utilized by Alternative Breaks, per a decision made by AB student executive board.

2017 Status
Not Yet Achieved
Several Alternative Breaks executive board members completed a pre (in Jan 2018) and post (in April 2018) leadership statement, reflecting on their understanding and practice of leadership. The AAC&U VALUE Rubric for Leadership will be used to assess student leadership growth. Because of the small sample size, we will not be scoring these assessments - but will begin next year (2018-19) with the requirement that all AB executive board members complete pre and post statements, which will be reviewed and assessed for growth.
