A brief description of how the assessment was developed:
Working directly with GVSU Information Technology, the 2009 survey was re-vamped (with new questions) to create the 2011 survey. Before sending the survey to the student population, we asked a handful of students, faculty, and staff what they thought of the survey (i.e. if the survey wording was clear, options were understandable, questions were relevant, etc.). With their comments/thoughts/suggestions as well as with IT’s comments/thoughts/suggestions, the 2011 survey was created.
A brief description of how the assessment was administered:
Working directly with GVSU Information Technology (IT), IT was able to send out the survey link to every registered student. The survey was anonymous.
A brief summary of results from the assessment:
1,333 students completed the survey, which was an increase of 1,011 from the previous 2009 survey. The survey asked students not only what they personally felt was most important to them regarding sustainability, but also to relate to us what sustainable programs/activities/events that they either knew of or participated in. One of the most important aspects of the 2011 sustainability survey was the students’ opportunity to tell GVSU what they thought GVSU was strongest in, as well as weakest in, in regards to sustainability. The 2011 sustainability survey literacy assessment was a great tool for GVSU to help faculty and staff understand what students think and feel regarding campus sustainability.
