CMU provides students with opportunities to develop the "whole person" by connecting the student with the institution and the community. To accomplish these goals, the institution offers a wide range of engagement opportunities based on the philosophy that students who have made meaningful connections with the campus will have a greater likelihood of persisting in their education and achieving their personal and academic goals.
The engagement opportunities and services we offer are measured in terms of student learning outcomes. 作为一个机构, we monitor and assess the student learning outcomes on a biannual basis with an eye toward continuous improvement. The following Learning Outcomes are guided by the Colorado Mesa University Strategic Plan, adopted in January 2011, and informed by the 学生服务 Campus Working Group.
