Alumni Survey
Who takes it?
A sample of 5-year and 10-year University alumni.
When is it administered?
Every summer. (Until 2004, it was administered every three years.)
What office administers it?
Assessment and Testing Office.
Who originates the survey?
ACT and Truman State University.
When are the results typically available?
Usually it takes about 9 months from when surveys are first sent out until
they are processed and a final report is ready.
What type of information is sought?
The Alumni Survey first asks some demographic information on the former
students. The alumni are also asked when they graduated and what their
highest planned degree is. Other information is sought about why
Truman was selected and how they financed their college education.
Alumni are then asked to rate various aspects of their university and
curricular experience and their satisfaction with different services on
campus. Alumni are asked about how their major affected their
knowledge, abilities, and attitudes. They are asked about how their
experience affected their ability to continue their education (if they did)
and to select and carry out their employment. Finally alumni are asked
whether they are willing to have their employer be sent a survey and whether
they wish to add any additional comments.
From whom are the results available?
The Assessment and Testing Office, Violette Hall 1130.
To whom are the results regularly distributed?
University averages are sent to the President, VPAA, Division Heads,
Assessment Committee, selected administrators, and to the campus community
through this Almanac.
Are the results available by division or discipline?
Yes, if requested.
Are the results comparable to data of other universities?
No.
