Demonstrating the value of our industry
In 2021, NACAS unveiled its first-ever benchmarking program that collects data from all auxiliary services on campuses across the U.S. and Canada. This gave us a snapshot of what services were like before the pandemic. A year later, we can see the impact this global crisis has had, not only on our industry but on higher education as a whole.
This helps us paint a picture of our successes and our losses. It shows how the auxiliary services industry can step up and in to support student success, especially during difficult times. Using this data, you will be able to highlight institutions that found unprecedented resiliency by pivoting their services, identify valuable connections, leverage creative solutions, and make actionable changes on your campus.

Important Details
About: The NACAS Benchmarking program collects data from NACAS members each year to help college service leaders unlock key findings of how industry peers are establishing the mark and learn how their own campuses are trailblazing the industry. We partnered with Vault Consulting to make it easier for college service leaders to interpret, manipulate, and present data.
How It Works: Every NACAS institutional member has an opportunity to participate in the benchmarking survey. Members should look for an email from Vault, which will contain a unique survey link for their institution. Campus colleagues will need to coordinate amongst themselves to determine the best way to collect data and submit the survey on behalf of the institution. By completing a survey, you will have access to the full survey report through an interactive dashboard. All other members that don’t participate in the survey will receive a written executive summary for free.
Dates & Deadlines
- Next Data Collection Period: February 2023
