attendance of a PA or FA to ASCE PFATW.BackgroundBenefit for studentsIn the current climate of higher education student success is a key conversation topic. Asstudents participate in activities beyond the classroom, they have a stronger educationalexperience and higher institutional satisfaction [11]. Student success can be attributed to theconnection and access students have to faculty advisor(s) and other student members [12], [13].These students develop practical competencies (i.e. soft or power skills) and build leadership thatmay not be included in their academic curriculum [14]. These skills can be practiced throughstudent organizations. These organizations provide an opportunity to grow future leaders byoffering opportunities to balance
Evaluation (-PE), which informs program administration. The student survey (S-)consists of four categories of questions, detailed in Appendix A: SSB, SCP, SPC and SPE. Thementor survey (M-) consists of three categories, Appendix B: MCP, MPC and MPE.Responses to questions use either a numerical five-point Likert scale or are open-endedresponse-based. The intern surveys are administered at the beginning, midpoint, and end of theinternship period. Mentor surveys are administered at the midpoint and end. Midpoint surveyshave fewer questions, and mainly serve as a check-in point. The majority of the SB, CP and PCquestions are posed at the beginning and end points of the internship period. Some CP questionsare posed only at the end point. PE questions are

favorof there being multiple cognitive schemas available to a person depending on the specificsituation they are considering, although there can be a preferred schema. Despite the shift intheoretical frameworks, the DIT remained a primary assessment tool for studying moralreasoning, although the interpretation of results changed.The original DIT required test takers to read six stories concerning moral dilemmas and then rateand rank items related to the stories. In the 1990’s, the DIT was revised, producing the DIT-2,with new stories that reflected the changing social context [2].The original DIT used a numerical index, the P-score, that measured the percentage of post-conventional responses to a moral dilemma. The DIT-2 also uses the P-score
