Assessment
The Design and Implementation Group of the Assessment Committee revised the Survey in Spring 2004.  Administration from this point on will be every year for five years (FY2006-2011).  After this baseline of data has been established, the Assessment Committee will reexamine the administration timeframe.

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.
