12. Mission Statement Example
BEFORE Orientation Services
Our Purpose...
The mission of Orientation Services at Trident Technical College is to
provide a welcoming environment in which new students and their
families obtain information necessary for a successful transition into
college life. Through our orientation program, we encourage campus
involvement, academic success, and student retention. Our aim is to
integrate new students and families into campus life while easing the
transitions and stresses associated with starting college.
In order to achieve these objectives, students and families who attend
an orientation will…..
View a video to familiarize them with the campus environment and
physical facilities

Verify the student’s major
Learn about important processes, like registration
Be assigned an academic advisor
Receive important printed materials about the College
Find out about student services and organizations
Have questions answered
Take a walking tour of the campus, if desired
Register for courses during the registration period in the
Orientation Services Centers if they are non-degree students

Orientation Services

mission of
encouraging student success, Orientation

success,
and student retention.

know or be able to do
Is measurable

Adapted from Bentrim-Tapio, 2008
15. Learning Outcome
Statements
Specify what students will be able to
do, know, and/or demonstrate as a result of
participating in or completing an
activity/service/program.

knowledge, skills, attitudes or behaviors.
Adapted from Bentrim-Tapio, 2008
16. The wording…

17. Learning Outcome Examples
As a result of students attending resume
workshop, students will develop a
professional grade essay.
As a result of instruction from the test
proctor, students will manage their time in
order to complete their tests within the allotted
time.
As a result of attending officer training
sessions and holding office, organization
officers will demonstrate improvement in their
leadership skills from the beginning of their
tenure through completion.
18. Satisfaction vs. Learning is
much like the relationship
between Reliability and Validity.
Just as reliability means nothing
when the problem is
validity, satisfaction doesn’t mean
much when students don’t learn.
19. Satisfaction surveys
don’thelp you understand all of the
contributions of your programs & services
don’ttell you how your programs and
services contribute to student
development & learning
don’t
tell you everything you need to know
about programs & service improvements
Bresciani, 2002
