1) Below are your program's student outcomes (SOs). Please add or update as needed.
Undecided or pre-major students select a major that best fits their abilities, interests and goals. (We understand that this is our mission statement only and that we need to develop both student learning outcomes and process / delivery outcomes. We hope to do this with the AIRO.)
2) Your program's SOs are published as follows. Please update as needed.
Program's Website. URL: Student Handbook. URL, if available online: 
Information Sheet, Flyer, or Brochure. URL, if available online: NA UHM Catalog. Page Number: Other: Other: 3) Provide the program's activity map or other graphic that illustrates how program activities/services align with program student outcomes. Please upload it as a PDF.

4) Did your program engage in any program assessment activities between June 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012? (e.g., establishing/revising outcomes, aligning activities to outcomes, collecting evidence, interpreting evidence, using results, revising the assessment plan, creating surveys, etc.)
Yes
No (skip to question 14)5) For the period June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012: State the assessment question(s) and/or assessment goals. Include the student outcomes that were targeted, if applicable.
Our assessment goal was to create Student Learning Outcomes, since we previously only had our mission statement.
6) State the type(s) of evidence gathered to answer the assessment question and/or meet the assessment goals that were given in Question #5.
We met with the Assessment Office and the advisors had a discussion that narrowed seventeen SLOs to three.
7) State how many persons submitted evidence that was evaluated. If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.
4 advisors.
8) Who interpreted or analyzed the evidence that was collected? Check all that apply.
Program faculty/staff member(s) Faculty/staff committee Ad hoc faculty/staff group Director or department chairperson Persons or organization outside the university Students (graduate or undergraduate) Dean or Associate Dean Advisory Board Other: 9) How did he/she/they evaluate, analyze, or interpret the evidence? Check all that apply.
Compiled survey results Used quantitative methods on student data (e.g., grades, participation rates) or other numeric data Used qualitative methods on interview, focus group, or other open-ended response data Scored exams/tests/quizzes Used a rubric or scoring guide Used professional judgment (no rubric or scoring guide used) External organization/person analyzed data (e.g., Social Science Research Institute) Other: 10) For the assessment questions/goals stated in Question #5, summarize the actual results.
We narrowed 17 potential SLOs to the following three:
1. Students can identify major options.
2. Students can learn, identify, and understand General Education, graduation and program requirements using advising combined with supplemental services (MyUH, STAR, catalog, registration guide and program sheets.)
3. Students can identify and use campus resources available to them (Career Center, CSDC, LAC, etc.)
Later: Students evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, abilities, interests and goals.
11) What was learned from the results?
We are able to identify more specific SLOs.
12) State how the program used the results or plans to use the results. Please be specific.
We will be meeting with the Assessment Office to work on concept mapping and our next steps. We plan to incorporate our student learning outcomes in our literature.
13) Reflect on the assessment process. Is there anything related to assessment procedures your program would do differently next time? What went well?
Last year, we had advisors leave and advisors in and out. As a result, we were not able to to make as much progress as we would have liked. We really hopt to make more progress this year.
