The Bulletin of the Association of College Unions International, January 2010. Report offers insights into union and activities professionals' skills and educational needs.
This article gives a report on the "first ever College Unions and Student Activities Professional Competency Assessment." The online survey was sent to over two thousand professionals with 585 responding.
The purpose of this study is to understand the knowledge base of union professionals. The data will be used to guide campus training efforts, graduate curricula and ACUI programs.
The survey consisted of three questions and respondents self-reported. The article highlights each questions and how respondents ranked. The demographic data also provided great insight in this area.
I found this article very exciting as the area I work in is taking strides in assessment. The research from this first survey will provide guidelines in our professional arena and I believe great opportunities for growth. I am very happy there was one article in our trade journal about assessment.
