College solicits student feedback through success team surveys
The Ithaca College Student Success Team collects student feedback through a series of short surveys to better understand student experiences throughout their time at the college. Each survey will have between three and six questions for students to answer.
The first mini-surveys were sent to new students, freshmen and transfer students this week. All new students who are currently in their first semester at college are encouraged to complete the survey.
Students can choose whether or not they want a member of the Student Success Team to contact them about their survey responses. The Student Success Team will share data models, not individual responses, with the appropriate office or program that meets specific student needs.
