The most utilized service continues to be study groups, with many students indicating that they did not know about the other program services.
Data AnalysisThe survey was a satisfaction survey that would indicate program success when satisfaction levels were above 75%.
Next Steps Planned

Program needs to revise promotional activities to inform students about services outside of study groups. Department is already in discussion to implement changes in the fall 2013 semester. Changes include tutors and linked faculty being more involved in the promotion of program services.
