    For the Common Good? An Exploration of Student Affairs Activities and Their Impact on Civic Engagement Outcomes for College Graduates
    (2025-03-18) Braught, Emily
    This study explores the impact of student affairs activities on civic engagement five years after graduation. Historically, early American higher education aimed to foster civic-minded individuals, but contemporary justifications for a college degree often emphasize job preparation and financial gain. Despite this shift, civic engagement remains a key goal in student affairs programs. Using data from the National Center for Educational Statistics Baccalaureate and Beyond (2016/2020) survey, the study analyzes whether participation in student organizations, leadership roles, fraternities/sororities, and intramurals correlates with increased civic behaviors, such as volunteering and voting. Findings highlight the varying influence of student affairs activities on civic engagement, suggesting a need for focused efforts to cultivate responsible citizens.
