2. Assessment of Service & Civic
Engagement (ASCE)
The goals of the study are to:
1. Provide an assessment tool to assess (on the institutional level)
a. frequency, type, duration, motivations for, obstacles to, civic
engagement activity on the part of students
b. effects of institutionalization on student service and civic
engagement experiences.
2. Generate individual level data that will allow institutions to draw
conclusions about student sub-sets, and the student body as
a whole, for internal and external descriptive data needs like
marketing, accreditation, and strategic planning.
3. Create a national benchmark data-set for comparative analysis
of civic engagement in higher education (of students and of
institutions).
