Fall Semester 2019 Survey Results

Fall Semester 2019, the Resilience and Retention committee sent out a New Student Wellness Survey to all new students.  The purpose of the survey was to connect students to campus resources, and to foster a connection with SIU. The survey was sent to 1,863 students, and 555 responded to the survey- a 30% response rate. Over 1,791 links to campus resources were sent through email to the students who responded to the survey. Takeaways from the survey included:

• Most students were very excited about starting college
• The largest number of resource links were sent out for career development, followed by financial aid
• Main concerns for student: Safety

The Resilience and Retention Committee shared this information with campus partners, and will use this information to inform programming, and to address student concerns. The next New Student Wellness Survey will be administered Fall semester, 2020.
