CONSULTATIONS OF THE TEAMProgram Evaluation:In Criterion 5, the college has identified a challenge in “collecting feedback about existing programs to determine their importance and value tothe community.” Given this challenge, the college may wish to consider the following suggestions:Identify the key community programs and services in which it wishes to gather more feedback. It is apparent that the college has such asignificant amount of community oriented programs that collecting data on all of them may simply not be possible or cost effective. Factorsrelated to determining which programs and services should be priorities in this process might include cost of the programs/services, revenuegenerated by the programs/services, number of individuals served or impacted, and trend data indicating major increases or decreases incommunity interest in a program or service.Determine possible funds available for data collection activities.Identify appropriate strategies for collecting feedback:• Point -of-service survey• Follow-up questionnaire (mail, e-mail, social media, etc.)• Random individual interviews during or after a program/event• Focus group interviews• Community surveys (by the college or co-sponsored with another organization)• Phone surveysSelect workable strategies that fit with the data collection funds available.Determine persons responsible for collecting and analyzing the data:• Institutional Research Department• Selected employees within a department or program needing the data• Contracted services from outside the college23 Final Report: Advancement Section
