The sixth Annual Drexel Assessment Conference was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sept. 11-13. Andrea Kirshman (CASA), R. Chad Brown (tutoring), Marlene Fares (advising), Lori Lentz (registrar), and Rachel Fager (library) presented a session titled “Outcomes Outside the Classroom: A Collaborative Approach to Developing SLO Assessment in Student Support Services.” The session included information on successful academic support assessment. Since student learning occurs both inside and outside the classroom, it is important to assess learning experiences in various settings. The session provided specific examples of Student Learning Outcomes designed for student support services.
