Good morning!

I agree that it is always a good idea to look and see what data you do have right now, before developing a new assessment. Places that I usually go to look are past event assessments/surveys, exit survey from our graduating students if there's any, or focus groups/meeting notes with our student leaders.

If you are hoping to develop a brand-new needs assessment, a combination of open-ended questions (gauging needs and wants) plus some multiple choice/ranking (as an evaluation + educational opportunity) on current offerings can gather some helpful insights. I also lean on focus groups and some interactive activities (like putting stickers/post-it notes to answer one question when they pass by an area or stop by for advising) more these two years.

Always happy to chat more individually if that's helpful. 🙂

Best, Lin

Some people who received this message don't often get email from frankl96@msu.edumailto:frankl96@msu.edu. Learn why this is importanthttps://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification

Just a thought, if any of your campuses use Campus Labs, you can query to find out if there are pre-existing surveys there. Schools can share surveys on that platform. Institutional research and or your Student Affairs area may have information if your campus is on this platform.

Respectfully,

Amy

Hello friends,

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the nice spring weather.

We are developing an International Student Need Assessment survey to capture the needs of students and create programming that is impactful and helpful for them.

Please share your favorite international student need assessments tools, ideas, systems etc.

Thanks in advance for your generosity!

Have a wonderful day!

Anh
