Input Needed for ACUHO-I Operational Survey
ACUHO-I is in the midst of a groundbreaking operational survey, and your assistance is needed to help make this resource as beneficial as possible for the association and the entire campus housing profession. ACUHO-I has joined the NASPA Assessment Consortium to launch the ACUHO-I Campus Housing Operational Survey. Working with Campus Labs (formerly Student Voice) and a host of volunteer leaders, ACUHO-I is looking to compile an incredibly robust database of information on just how you conduct your business. An email was sent to the chief housing officer at each institution with a unique link to the survey. If you did not receive that email, or have lost the information, contact Emily Glenn (Emily@acuho-i.org or call 614.292.0099) to have it re-sent. The survey, open through March 16, 2012, will require a significant investment of time from each campus, but the results will be worth it. All institutions that complete the survey will receive a complimentary executive summary report of the results. In addition, each ACUHO-I institutional member that completes the survey will receive, at no additional cost, a report that compares that institution’s data to the national average. Finally, all institutions may purchase a subscription to the entire survey data set. ACUHO-I members will receive a discount on this price, and ACUHO-I member institutions that have fewer than 1,000 beds in their system will receive an additional $500 discount. More information about these options and suggestions on how to approach the survey and answers to other frequently asked questions are available online at www.acuho-i.org/Default. aspx?tabid=1039. ACUHO-I is very excited about this project but to make the most of it will require the participation of as many campuses as possible. Please make the time to contribute to this body of data to create a robust and accurate trove of information.
