We provide stewardship and support for university-wide surveys like Graduation Surveys, New Student Surveys, and other university-level surveys as directed. 

• Annual review of survey content using standardized criteria to assess clarity, construct alignment, and utility. 

• Management of unit or college-specific modules, including intake, consultation, and integration into institutional surveys. 

We offer survey development and support services for Academic Affairs, assisting with the design, administration, and reporting of projects developed in collaboration with campus units. Each project begins with an intake process to assess its purpose, target audience, constructs, and feasibility. This results in a project plan aligned with stakeholder needs and best practices for data collection—which may or may not involve a survey.

Survey support services include: 

• Question quality review using a standardized checklist to ensure clarity, analysis readiness, and accessibility for respondents. 

• Survey drafting aligned with defined project goals. 

• Guidance on survey launch strategies, including timing, distribution methods, and student experience considerations. 

• Assistance with the University Survey Committee approval process. 

• Post-launch monitoring of participation rates and data quality to ensure meaningful and actionable results. 

• Post-survey reporting and consultations on data use.

• Referrals to alternative methods or campus units when appropriate.
