Broadly speaking, evaluation assesses the value, quality or impact of any given activity, effort. While general evaluation work may have a broad scope, in terms of the mental health and addictions work on campus, an evaluation refers to the work of assessing how these services or initiatives are affecting the student population and others on campus. More specifically, evaluation of programs and services refers to the systematic collection of information about the activities, characteristics and outcomes of programs and services to make judgments about them, improve their effectiveness and inform future decision-making about them.
