Satisfaction Survey Data
The following data was taken from a Qualtrics survey sent to all students who applied for a scholarship in the Fall of 2024. Of these students, there were 9 respondents.
COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS
I might have just been bad at navigating the website, but I always had trouble finding internal/national deadline dates on it.
Easier to find internal and national deadlines on the main OPES website.
I really enjoyed my experience. The only drawback was having to schedule meeting almost months in advance, but that is understandable given the high demand.
Everything was put together very well! A consideration for the future: ask students who have gone through the process before to look into future applicants materials. This could even be a student worker role for these individuals which would allow students, who are not able to meet with Dr. Hoffman, an opportunity to hear some of what might be considered through a third party.
