Abstract

This IR in Practice session conveys information related to the assessment of an innovative, campuswide utilization of a strengths-based, positive psychology framework. In fall 2011, the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities (UMNTC) offered 5,400 new first-year students the StrengthsFinder assessment within a larger framework of the StrengthsQuest higher education program. This session discusses the approaches UMNTC used in developing a conceptual framework for the assessment of strengths outcomes, describes the measures and instruments used in assessment, and discusses the collaborations developed between institutional research, student affairs, and academic affairs.
