Alumni Survey Helps Guide Advancement

Great response yields constructive comments.

More than 4,000 MMA alumni received an email from the Advancement Office on June 4, with a link to a survey pertaining to their undergraduate experience, life post-graduation, and financial support of the college. The survey closed with 936 responses—a 22.8% response rate. The goal of the survey was to gain a better understanding of alumni experiences as undergraduates, their connections to MMA, and how their experiences affect their level of interest in financial support of the college.

“The responses were amazing,” says Vice President Advancement, Chris Haley. “Some of the comments gave us a lot of food for thought; some have prompted us to review our methodology and programs.

“While a few suggestions are beyond our control (we would love to make tuition free but are fiscally unable), many alumni gave specific, constructive suggestions we plan to implement.

“We want you to know,” Haley says, “we hear you.”
