Alumni Survey

University alumni five and ten years after graduation.
When is it administered?
February.
What office administers it?
Assessment and Testing Office.
Who originates the survey?
ACT and Truman State University.
When are the results typically available?
Late summer.
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; how their major affected their
knowledge, abilities, and attitudes; how their
experience affected their ability to continue their education (if they did)
and to select and carry out their employment; 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, Provost, Deans,
Assessment Committee Chair, selected administrators, and to the campus community
through the Assessment Almanac.
Are the results available by department or discipline?
Yes, if requested.
Are the results comparable to data of other universities?
No.
