Assessment and Institutional Research Concordia College is committed to providing students with
an excellent education, and assessment is the process which measures
the impact of that education on students' growth. We have developed
a number of methods to assess the effectiveness of college programs.
Student participation is essential to this process: we value student
opinions and input, which allow the College to enrich the learning
environment for current and future Cobbers. In many instances, assessment
is your chance to tell us how we are doing. The college is able
to improve programs and make changes based on these assessment activities.
To encourage your participation in assessment activities, we may
invite you to attend focus groups, to complete tests, to develop
portfolios of your work, to complete surveys, or to participate
in a number of other activities. Many assessment activities enable
us to measure your progress from your first year to your fourth
year, which helps us determine how we are influencing your growth.
The mission of the Office of Assessment and Institutional Research
is to coordinate institutional assessment activities, to consult
with departments in developing and implementing assessment plans
and procedures, and to analyze institutional data. The director
of Assessment and Institutional Research will:
• coordinate institutional assessment activities, including
data collection, analysis, and reporting.
• consult with academic departments in the development and
implementation of their assessment plans. It will provide training
and technical assistance in the following areas: developing/identifying
student learning outcomes, selecting and developing assessment techniques,
collecting and analyzing data, and utilizing results for improvement.
• document assessment processes and serve as a clearinghouse
for assessment information.
• work with the assessment committee to assess general education
learning outcomes.
• stay current on research literature and accepted practice
in the areas of assessment and institutional research.
• share information about assessment research and assessment
activities conducted at other colleges.

Lilly Call to Serve Project
There are many ways to learn and grow. The goal of the Lilly Call
to Serve Project is to share, resource, and seek out various ways
for people to discover a strong sense of vocation - to put
one's work and one's life in a bigger picture.
At the heart of this picture is Concordia's purpose as a liberal
arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: "The
mission of Concordia College is to influence the affairs of the
world by sending into society thoughtful and informed men and women
dedicated to the Christian life." With this picture in mind,
Call to Serve strives to answer questions such as:
• How does one listen for the voice of vocation?
• What can one find to make a life, and not just a living?
By participating with students to answer such questions, the overall
goal of the Call to Serve Project becomes two-fold. The first goal
is to help Concordia's students understand vocation or call
in whatever field or career they may choose. The second goal gives
specific attention to recruitment and preparation of students for
vocation in the church, either ordained or lay professional.
Student-centered program activities are central to both emphases.
These programs provide a place for students to discover their own
unique gifts and, through experiential learning, explore the ways
in which they may offer those gifts in service to God and to influence
the affairs of the world.
The Call to Serve Project is a five-year project underwritten by
a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. For more information
about the Project's programs and activities, contact the Lilly
Call to Serve Project Office in Old Main 401, 299-4541.

Cooperative Education/Internships
Concordia's Cooperative Education ("co-op") program
simultaneously offers on-the-job training, academic credit and the
possibility of monetary compensation. A co-op provides valuable
training and a laboratory in which to test classroom knowledge and
one's aptitude in real work settings under the supervision
of trained professionals and faculty coordinators. Cooperative Education
also enhances employability by providing work experiences that might
otherwise be unavailable to undergraduates. Students may develop
skills on specialized equipment and work in unique environments.
In addition to academic credit and wages, co-op adds onthe- job
relevance to academic studies, heightens curriculum awareness, enhances
professional networking, and sharpens career focus. Professional
vocabulary and job-specific methods, strategies, and techniques
are learned. Transferable skills, such as oral and written communication
and computer software mastery, may also be developed and refined.
Students may work either full- or part-time and earn .5 to 2.0 course
credits. A maximum of 2.0 credits in Cooperative Education is allowed
toward the 31.5 credits required for graduation. The amount of credit
and the co-op assignment are agreed upon by the student, the faculty
coordinator, and a Career Center professional. All academic departments
participate in co-op programs, and positions relate to a student's
major, minor or career goals.
The Cooperative Education office is located in Academy 110, phone
is 299-3492.

such as a helium tank for balloons and a button-maker. In addition
to the resources, a meeting space and conference room encourage
individuals and small groups to use the resources to work creatively.
Counseling Center Personal Counseling: The goal of the Center is
to assist students in growing emotionally, socially, and educationally
through increased self-understanding. The Counseling Center provides
personal counseling services to individual students, couples, and
groups at no cost for enrolled students. Psychological assessment
is also available. The counseling staff will facilitate on-campus
referrals: for example they might refer students to the Academic
Enhancement Center for academic counseling, or to the Campus Pastors
Office for spiritual and grief counseling. In addition, the counseling
staff will facilitate off-campus referrals to other mental health
professionals and agencies in the Fargo- Moorhead community who
specialize in such areas as chemical dependency, eating disorders,
and rape and abuse issues.
The Center also provides consultation to faculty and staff regarding
student related concerns. The College retains a consulting psychiatrist
who provides assistance to the counseling staff in doing evaluations,
referrals, and ongoing therapy. Consultation also addresses medication
issues and determining need for more intensive treatment or hospitalization.
Alcohol/Drug Counseling: The Counseling Center
provides alcohol/drug screening and referral. Formal evaluation,
either recommended or required, is available only through off-campus
agencies and the student is responsible for the cost. The cost for
treatment is also the responsibility of the student. Various counseling

Disability Services
Students with temporary or permanent disabilities are typically
eligible for accommodations which enable them to more easily access
their educational program. Students with any condition that might
actually or potentially limit their ability to achieve their educational
goals should contact the Counseling Center for program information.
Examples of conditions that might be considered permanent include
learning disabilities, serious chronic health problems, seizure
disorders and other neurological conditions, and vision, hearing
and speech impairments. Students who become pregnant, undergo surgery,
break a leg or an arm, or develop cancer or any other serious physical
or emotional illness may be eligible for accommodations for the
duration of their temporary disability. Services are dependent upon
the needs of the individual student. Faculty, campus employers and
other staff are asked to cooperate in implementing the accommodations
for students verified through the special services program. For
more detailed information about academic policies related to students
with disabilities, see "Accommodations for Students with Disabilities,"

of its students. The Kjos Health Center is located in the north

card with them at the time of visit.
Medications are available at a discount at the Health Center with
payment required when the medications are received. A receipt is

Concordia strongly recommends all students be covered by health
insurance. Parents are encouraged to contact their primary insurance
company and seek authorization for the Family HealthCare Center
to be designated as their son/daughter's primary healthcare
provider during the school term. This recommendation would facilitate
convenient, professional and reduced healthcare costs, but is dependent
upon the wishes of parents and stu dents. The college contracts
with Family HealthCare Center to provide physician and nurse practitioner
coverage for students. Call 299-3662 if you have any questions or
concerns.
