Abstract

At the beginning of every HHM event we have a kickoff and collect student surveys for IIE funding. Last year we were concerned because we only received 20 surveys even though we served food for 100+ people. We wanted to have more surveys so we implemented some logistical changes in the kickoff day, this was a.

-We had someone assigned permanently at the survey table. 

- Explained to students the importance of completing the survey.

- Every table/activity encouraged to complete a survey at the end. 

- Most importantly we  feel students were engaged because we had activities at tables. 

The result was that we received 100 surveys (an increase of 500%!)

Lorena, thanks for taking time to submit a CATS.  I am so happy you had such a large increase in surveys!  I am looking forward to seeing what else you submit to help make Hispanic Heritage Month better each year.  I hope this CATS provides a foundation to help the committee keep track of what they did in the past and what can be improved in the future.
