Consortium Student Unions and Programming Study

The Association of College Unions International (ACUI) has partnered with the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) to administer the NASPA Assessment and Knowledge Consortium.

The Consortium Student Union and Programming Study is a national student assessment that focuses on:

• The importance of the Student Union facilities and programs in recruitment and in student experiences overall
• Utilization of the Student Union and participation in programming
• Outcomes of participating in Student Union events and programs
• Outcomes of student employment in the Student Union
• Satisfaction with the Student Union

The study includes a set of standard demographics questions. In addition to institution-specific data, the Consortium Student Union and Programming Study provides comparison data for benchmarking with national averages and with peer campuses.
