Develop Engaged & Thriving Students, On Campus and Beyond.
Join more than 600 schools preparing students for great jobs and great lives using the CliftonStrengths online talent assessment, formerly known as StrengthsQuest.
Students need to use their strengths to truly succeed.
College graduates expect that their education will provide them a better life.
But Gallup finds that just 39% of college grads are engaged at work. And only 11% are thriving in all five elements of their well-being.
So, how can leaders like you increase the value of the college experience for students?
You start by helping students discover their natural talents; then teach them how to develop their talents into strengths, and coach them to apply their strengths during their experiences on campus.
Because the best schools help students get the most out of their college experience by playing to their strengths.

Just one-third of recent graduates with high student loan debt say their education was worth the cost.
Use the CliftonStrengths assessment to transform the way your students experience college.
When students learn to use their CliftonStrengths, they thrive.
They identify the classes and craft the careers that allow them to do what they do best.
They develop deep, meaningful relationships with friends and mentors that can transcend their time on campus.
They learn to live within their means now and plan for their financial future.
They discover how to live healthy lives, both physically and emotionally.
And they leave a positive impact on their campus by applying their talents in leadership roles and in clubs and organizations.
Thriving students are engaged in their schools because their schools deliver on the promise of helping students live a better life, on campus and beyond.
For students, living a better life starts with using their CliftonStrengths.

How to Use CliftonStrengths for Students
Since 2002, schools have used Gallup's StrengthsQuest program to help students identify their unique talents using the CliftonStrengths assessment.
In 2016, Gallup started rebranding StrengthsQuest into what it has naturally always been: CliftonStrengths for Students.
What hasn't changed?
The best schools don't just administer the CliftonStrengths assessment.
They weave strengths-based development into every corner of their campus.
Because like their students, school leaders, faculty and staff need to discover and develop their CliftonStrengths to create engaging and thriving experiences for their students.
And when students are engaged and thriving, they are empowered to succeed academically, personally and professionally.
The Best Schools Help Students:
Discover Their CliftonStrengths
All schools start with Gallup's CliftonStrengths assessment, which helps students and educators to discover, understand and maximize their natural talents.
Develop Their CliftonStrengths
The best schools use CliftonStrengths resources and activities to support students as they learn how to apply their strengths to succeed in and out of the classroom.
Apply Their CliftonStrengths to Thrive
The best schools send campus leaders through Gallup's CliftonStrengths coaching curriculum. These coaches bring proven strengths-based development techniques back to campus, allowing them to develop happier, healthier and more engaged students.
