Future Direction

Future Direction

  • Use survey data when applicable to inform future strategic plans and priorities.
  • Conduct institutional surveys and/or focus groups to do a deeper dive into areas of opportunity and gather more information to clarify student responses (e.g. starting summer 2024 students will receive a survey after advising appointments to provide input on the Advising Syllabus outcomes discussed during the meeting and overall advising experience).
  • Prepare a strategy to improve response rates the next time the survey is administered to help the college meet the national community college average response rate of 10-15%.
  • Readminister the Student Satisfaction Survey in 2-3 years.
