CliftonStrengths is a research-based assessment developed by Gallup that identifies an individual’s top talents across 34 themes. The CliftonStrengths for Students report connects these strengths to learning styles, study habits, teamwork, and goal setting, offering a personalized pathway to success.

Fuel your student organization's success with CliftonStrengths. This powerful framework goes beyond self-assessment, helping leaders and members understand and apply their individual and collective talents. The result? More effective, connected, and impactful organizations where every member can lead from their best self, elevating your group's overall impact.

• Enhance Team Dynamics: Understanding each member’s unique talents fosters greater appreciation, trust, and collaboration. Teams that work from their strengths communicate more effectively and experience fewer conflicts.
• Empower Student Leaders: Leaders who know their natural talents are better equipped to lead authentically, delegate strategically, and build a positive, strengths-based culture within their organizations.
• Increase Engagement and Retention: Members who feel seen for their strengths are more likely to stay involved and contribute meaningfully. Strengths-based organizations tend to be more inclusive, energized, and mission-driven.
• Navigate Challenges More Effectively: CliftonStrengths helps students identify how they naturally respond to stress, problem-solving, and conflict. With this awareness, teams can develop healthier, more adaptive strategies for success.
• Fuel Personal and Professional Growth: For many students, leadership within an organization is a key part of their college journey. CliftonStrengths provides a shared language and reflective practice that supports both immediate leadership development and long-term career readiness.

At ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿, we believe strong teams thrive on trust, open communication, and a deep appreciation for what each person brings to the table. By understanding and using individual strengths, we cultivate high-performing, inclusive teams across student organizations, classrooms, and professional environments.

• Promotes Self-Awareness and Mutual Respect: When team members understand their own strengths and recognize the strengths of others, it builds a culture of respect and appreciation. People feel seen for what they naturally do best.
• Enhances Communication and Collaboration: Strengths-based teams are better equipped to navigate differences, share responsibilities based on natural talents, and communicate more effectively across diverse perspectives.
• Encourages Productive Conflict and Innovation: Conflict is inevitable – but strengths-based teams are more likely to approach challenges with curiosity and compassion, creating space for creativity, innovation, and problem-solving.
• Fosters Inclusion and Psychological Safety: When everyone’s contributions are valued through a strengths lens, members feel more engaged and psychologically safe. This creates a welcoming space where people are more willing to share ideas and take risks.
• Improves Team Performance and Goal Achievement: By aligning tasks with individuals’ strengths, teams operate more efficiently and with greater confidence. This alignment leads to improved outcomes and more satisfaction along the way.

No, the assessment is provided at no cost to ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ students, faculty, and staff through Student Leadership Programs.

We recommend taking it only once. The first results typically reflect your most natural talents. If you’ve previously taken it through another institution, your results can still be used at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿.

Great! We encourage you to meet with a facilitator, attend a workshop, or use our downloadable resources to reflect on how to apply your strengths in leadership, academics, and personal life.

Absolutely. Understanding your strengths can help you articulate your value, communicate more confidently, and pursue opportunities aligned with your talents.
