Analysis & Consulting
Many services are available to maximize your Campus Climate Survey experience:
Executive Summary Report
Quantitative results from Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys are analyzed to identify key findings and opportunities for improving the campus climate. Statistical tests are conducted to look for significant and meaningful differences in the experiences of respondents of different identities/backgrounds. Themes are highlighted in a written report and present key takeaways that can inform plans to improve belonging and community.
Qualitative Analysis of Open-Ended Survey Questions
Adding customized open-ended items to Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys can shed light on topics of particular interest at your institution. We apply thematic coding procedures to identify key themes in the data. Brief tables summarizing findings from each question are prepared with the goal of enabling institutional leadership to better understand the experiences of all constituents and develop policies and procedures that target issues facing members of the campus community
Focus Groups
Our trained facilitator conducts focus groups with campus constituents to learn about their experiences on campus. Anonymous focus group transcripts are analyzed and a written report is given to institutional leadership to shed light on how different stakeholders experience the campus climate and what steps can be taken to create an improved sense of belonging.
Campus Presentations
We present a slide deck with findings and key takeaways from the Executive Summary Report (and/or other deliverables). Presentations are open to all members of the campus community and conclude with a Q&A session.
