This study examined student affairs and services staff members' perceptions of their work relative to items developed from the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services' (CACUSS's) mission statement (CACUSS, 1989). Using data collected from student affairs and services staff members at English-speaking postsecondary institutions from across Canada, I investigated if differences existed based on professional association affiliation, respondent's employment status, and number of years worked in the field. A number of statistically significant differences based on respondent characteristics were found. These findings suggest CACUSS is modestly successful in educating the field toward the premises for practice espoused in the association's mission statement.
