| The impact of the role of Student Services in
Student Learning and Development can be measured inter alia,
by positive changes in student behaviour, demonstration of leadership
and organizational skills, creativeness, organizational building
and the demonstration of an ethic of care among students.
Currently fifty-four (54) functional clubs and societies
on the Mona Campus are registered with the OSS. These clubs
and societies are facilitated by OSS but are primarily student
initiatives aimed at developing a specific competence among
students, and providing an important avenue for interacting
with staff and public official outside the classroom. Each
club or society has a staff (academic or senior administrator)
advisor and must register with the Office of Student Services
directly or through the Guild of Students.
Clubs and societies, therefore, form important media for
developing measurable learning outcomes such as commitment,
organizational skills, self-confidence, group dynamics, public
speaking, taking responsibility and a sense of belonging.
