Summary Reports

Substance Misuse and Violence Prevention (SMVP) within Student Life offers trainings and overviews that provide educational support for the STAND Up campaign on the Texas A&M University campus, inviting Aggies to Step In and Stand Up against sexual harassment and sexual violence. In 2025-2026, two separate programs were offered: the STAND Up Overview, an hour-long presentation intended to provide general information about the impacts of trauma related to experiencing power-based personal violence, and the STAND Up Training, a three-and-a-half-hour training designed to provide a more thorough understanding of the impacts of trauma related to experiencing power-based personal violence. This is the seventh time Student Affairs Planning, Assessment & Research has worked with Student Life to assess the STAND Up overviews and trainings.

Through Student Life within the Division of Student Affairs, Green Dot provides two ways to educate interested people about bystander intervention strategies and violence prevention. Students, faculty, staff, and interested community members can either participate in an overview, which serves as an introduction to Green Dot concepts, or participate in the more in-depth intervention training. Participants of both groups were given a survey to assess the program and how it affected their understanding of related concepts. Student Affairs Planning, Assessment & Research has worked with Student Life to help them assess the Green Dot programs since 2016.

Student Community Standards (SCS) wanted to assess the learning and overall experiences of students attending the Hazing Education Workshop (HEW). The survey assessed whether students could identify what hazing is. The survey also requested participants’ feedback about the effectiveness of the facilitators. Student Affairs Assessment, Planning & Research (SAPAR) has assisted SCS in assessing the workshop since 2024.

The First Aggie Connections Team (FACT) was designed to connect first-time, first-generation transfer students with mentors from The Association of Former Students network. The program planners hoped to gather feedback from both the mentees, peer mentors and Former Student mentors to understand the effectiveness of this pilot program and make recommendations regarding its continuation. This was the second time Student Affairs Planning, Assessment & Research (SAPAR) helped assess the First Aggie Connections Team.

The MSC Abbott Family Leadership Conference is a student organization advised in MSC Programs. MSC AFLC sponsored a conference March 25-28, 2026 in College Station. MSC AFLC also sponsored additional pre-conference events that included all delegates. MSC AFLC addresses four “pillars” in their pre-conference events and at the conference: ethics, the importance of family, service, and values. Evaluations included an assessment of the delegates’ experiences at the conference. The attached report summarizes the results and provides recommendations based on those results.

Multicultural Services hosted the second Level-Up 2 Lead Summit (L2L Summit) on April 25, 2026. The summit was open to students from Texas A&M University. The students who attended the summit were given a post-survey to better understand how they perceived their leadership skills and to obtain feedback about their summit experiences. This is the second year Multicultural Services worked with Student Affairs Planning, Assessment & Research (SAPAR) to assess the summit.

Substance Misuse and Violence Prevention (SMVP) staff within Student Life offer a variety of presentations for classrooms, student organizations, and residence halls on health-related topics to promote healthy lifestyles, health maintenance, disease/injury prevention, and interpersonal violence protection for Texas A&M University students and the campus community. After each presentation, participants were surveyed to ascertain their satisfaction with each presentation, whether the topics presented were relevant to them, and to gain insight into future improvements needed. Student Affairs Planning, Assessment & Research (SAPAR) has partnered with SMVP on this project since 2014.

The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs (OVPSA) partnered with Human Resources & Organizational Effectiveness (HROE) to facilitate a one-day supervisor training, held on April 30, 2026, for staff members within the Division of Student Affairs who supervise staff and were nominated by their departments to attend. The training included topics such as communication, conflict resolution, Texas A&M University’s Human Resources policies, and leadership development. This is the second time the supervisor training has been offered, and the second time Student Affairs Planning, Assessment & Research (SAPAR) has helped assess it.
