Supporting the School of Nursing Strategic Planning Process
|
|
|
In the fall, the School of Nursing (SON) kicked off strategic planning with faculty and staff conversations. Through interactive sessions designed to tap into the group’s collective wisdom, participants shared their experiences, insights, and ideas to shape the future of SON. This foundational input will inform and shape the next steps in planning through the spring, contributing to an action-oriented plan to advance the school’s aspirations and priorities.

Collecting Student Input: Go to Them
|
|
Collecting insights from students on a college campus can sometimes be tricky: where is the best place to reach them, when is the best time, and how do we entice them to participate? In our work with the University Police Department (UPD), we wanted to learn more about student awareness and perceptions of UPD community engagement programs and used a quick, verbal pulse-survey method: boots on the ground, face-to-face, series of short answer questions.
We developed a short survey for pop-up conversations with students all around Grounds. By meeting students (literally) where they are, we collected 254 responses in less than 12 hours (divided among 5 student data collectors out in the field). The feedback was rich and informative.
This sample data collection approach has utility far beyond students. Consider how you might gain useful feedback and input by engaging your stakeholders in their natural setting and fitting into their schedules.
