Yes

A brief description of the assessment(s):

When students are applying to the university we ask them to provide us with cultural information. We document students' race, state or country of residence and gender (for graduate students).
We also conducted the ACUHO-I Survey recently and are planning on using the data to improve programs and initiatives here at Chatham University. The ACUHO-I Survey was conducted by Educational Benchmarking Incorporated and sponsored by the Association of College and University Housing Officers – International. The survey was conducted in the Spring 2012 semester and was delivered electronically to all undergraduate residential students with a 75.9% response rate.


Year the assessment was last administered:
2,011

A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:

Since Chatham University has a percentage of students who are international, it recognizes that there are many different faiths at the university. Recently Chatham University has developed an “All Faith Worship Service” where students of all faiths can come together and worship. Chatham University was awarded the NACA Outstanding Diversity Achievement Campus Program Award for the “All Faith Worship Service.” We also use our assessments for information in what we should put into our curriculum. Chatham University makes sure diversity is a part of every program.
