Enhancing Higher Education: CAS and SAAL's Collaborative Partnership

The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) and Student Affairs Assessment Leaders (SAAL) continue successfully partnering to advance student affairs assessment in higher education. This collaboration leverages the strengths of two influential organizations to enrich the landscape of higher education through shared resources and cooperative efforts.

Building on a foundation of mutual dedication to excellence in student affairs assessment, this partnership signifies a pivotal moment for professional development and support within the field. SAAL members enjoy enhanced access to CAS's renowned frameworks and resources, tailored professional development opportunities, and consultations with CAS experts. They also benefit from exclusive discounts on CAS subscriptions and opportunities to engage in research initiatives.

Moreover, CAS sponsors an operational role within SAAL, reinforcing the organization's capacity to deliver impactful initiatives and support to its members. This collaboration underscores both organizations' commitment to fostering a community where expertise, collaboration, and equity thrive.
​
The full implementation of this partnership began in early 2024. Through this initiative, CAS and SAAL aim to continue elevating the standards and practices of student affairs assessment, ensuring that professionals and institutions are equipped with the tools and support needed to thrive in higher education.
