Service Highlights

Alumni/Student Survey:

Asking alumni or current students about their opinions and experiences can provide critical information about strengths, areas for improvement and opportunities for development. CMOR has the capability to assist colleges and universities in measuring alumni/student satisfaction with services including research and survey design, data collection, and analysis.

​

Survey of Admitted Students: 

CMOR’s Survey of Admitted Students is an on-line survey designed to uncover opportunities and discover value from your admitted students.

​

Attracting new students is a challenge in today’s competitive marketplace. Understanding what drives students to select a college, the communication channels that connect successfully with your target audience and how your value is perceived are keys to driving enrollment. Collecting this key information is as simple as asking. However, to get useful information you need to ask the right questions – in the right way.

Career Center Needs Assessment: 

Our comprehensive approach allows clients to identify and prioritize student and alumni needs related to their career development and readiness answering questions such as:

​

  • Why students aren’t taking advantage of Career Center services and how to best engage students in these programs and services? This will lead to better career outcomes for your students. 

​

  • How prepared do students feel they are to complete the tasks that employers are looking for and to compete for jobs in a competitive landscape?

​

  • What is the best way to connect with students?

​

  • What skills do students feel are most important for them to be successful after graduation? What skills do alumni wish that they would have received more training in while they were in school?

​​
