How to Support Students Post- Pandemic: IR's COVID-Era College-Wide Survey Results are Now Available

During intersession and early spring 2021, IR received multiple requests to create and administer student surveys.  In order to avoid over-surveying them, I incorporated the smaller surveys into one larger survey.  With the help of several employees, I also added questions that would help us: (1) understand students’ experiences during COVID, and (2) use a strengths-based, equity-driven approach to understand how MCC could emerge from the pandemic.

Starting next week, I will post the following sections from the COVID-Era College-Wide Survey Report in the Employee Tribune:

  • What students need right now
  • Why students enrolled at MCC
  • Why some students have left while others stayed
  • How the pandemic has changed students’ lives (generally, academically, and in terms of employment)
  • Student services
  • Preferred methods of communication
  • “Belongingness” at and satisfaction with MCC
  • Sub-reports for and about various MCC offices and groups
    • MCC Schools
    • Office of Student Life and Leadership Development
    • Advising and transfer
    • Student-Parents
  • Implications and Recommendations

Thank you Andy Freeman, Rebecca Mack, Gary Johnson, Kimberley Collins, Jodi Oriel, and Matt Lawson for your contributions to the survey.

I am working on making the full report ADA compliant so it can be posted on the internal pages of the IR website.  Until then, please contact me if you would like a copy of the full report.
