Community Connections objective - directly focus on the number of efforts UNLV is making to connect with its community. Specifically, the university is measuring the number of community partners and the number of projects performed each year with those partners.
Libraries/Cultural and Intellectual Vitality and Athletics
number of attendees at specific cultural events and locations on campus such as the Barrick Museum of Art, Performing Arts Center, Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery, University Libraries Events, Barrick Lecture Series, and the Geosymposium. This metric allows the university to track activities that enrich the cultural vitality of the community, a direct link to the mission statement.
Office of Service Learning and Leadership
how well UNLV promotes the engagement of students with the broader southern Nevada community.
Service Hours: Hours generated in identified service-learning courses as well as co-curricular service hours through various programs and student organizations.
Service-Learning Courses:
was marked by the creation of UNLV service-learning and a full, course-by-course curriculum review by every college and school on campus to establish which courses across the institution met the criteria.
"Service-learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development. Reflection and reciprocity are key concepts of service-learning."

factor analysis - 18 items loaded on a single factor (factor loadings ranged from .60 to .82), indicating that they collectively indicate overall job satisfaction from a statistical perspective. The number of factors were determined by their Eigenvalues and a Scree plot. The 18-item Overall Job Satisfaction Index ranges from 0-4 (0= strongly disagree, 1=disagree, 2=neutral, 3=agree, 4=strongly agree) with higher values indicating greater satisfaction. The mean value on the index is 2.48 with a standard deviation of .87, which is a relatively positive degree of satisfaction. The internal consistency for this index was high (Cronbach’s alpha=.96).
