Featured Research
Alumni Survey 2010
Every two years, the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment surveys undergraduate degree recipients one year after graduation. The survey collects data on alumni employment, graduate school, and volunteer work outcomes. Alumni also provide feedback on their learning and experiences at Evergreen and offer recommendations for how Evergreen can better serve its students. Results are available in the Alumni Survey 2010 Final Report.
Gateways for Incarcerated Youth Academic Program Alumni Survey
During its first 13 years, the Gateways for Incarcerated Youth academic program enrolled over 540 Evergreen students for college credit, including both incarcerated youth living in Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration facilities and other non-incarcerated students. An alumni survey was conducted in early 2011 by a team of Master of Public Administration students in partnership with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment. The survey assessed what alumni learned through their participation, how Gateways affected their lives, what they would change about the program, and what they have done in terms of education, employment, and community work since the program. The results from 103 participating alumni are available for review as a final report (Gateways Alumni Survey 2011 (PDF)) and as a PowerPoint presentation that was used in a dialogue with key program stakeholders at Evergreen (Gateways Stakeholder Presentation (PDF)).
End-of-program Review (EPR) 2009-10
The End-of-program Review (EPR) assessment was created to help the college recognize and articulate curricular offerings. Results of the End-of-program Review provide information about content of programs, including information about community-based projects and service learning in programs, compelling intellectual experiences, and successful pedagogical practices.
