Associated Students Inc. is conducting a student survey regarding the University Student Union and food services on campus, offering those who participate a chance to win a free semester of tuition in the spring, a free iPad 2, two free parking permits and a bike cruiser.
Chair of USU Board of Trustees Asha Nettles sent the survey to students Monday, saying it was being conducted to learn about student use — or non-use — of the USU and to better meet the needs of current and future students.
ASI previously assessed student satisfaction with the USU, but this survey is the first one of its kind.
“The USU has been operational for almost 40 years and the USU Board of Trustees feels that this is a good time to conduct this assessment,” Nettles said. “In the past, we have assessed student satisfaction and attendance for specific programs and services in the USU, but nothing of this caliber. The food services portion of the survey is a collaborative effort with the university and 49er Shops to reach the entire campus community and gauge those needs.”
The survey contains approximately 200 questions, including general student information and satisfaction with the USU facilities and food services.
The food services portion of the survey involves collaboration between ASI and 49er shops.
Based on this survey, the student government organization is trying to improve student services in the future.
“Last month, we held focus groups and it was from those groups that we generated the questions for the survey,” Nettles said. “At this time, there are no immediate plans to renovate anything in the USU, but the results of the survey will serve as a starting point.”
