Abstract
The purpose of this study was to interpret the lived experiences of midlevel student affairs administrators regarding the assessment of student engagement activities, focusing on the meanings these administrators attribute to their experiences within complex institutional environments. Through qualitative research utilizing a hermeneutical phenomenological approach, this study sought to interpret the meanings midlevel student affairs administrators attribute to their experiences through the application of the hermeneutic circle, emphasizing interpretive analysis. This specific research methodology allowed me to have an intentional approach in understanding midlevel student affairs administrators’ experiences through one-on-one interviews, researcher reflection, and utilizing my awareness of the research topic to produce robust findings and recommendations.
