It’s
called the
Cooperative
Institutional
Research
Program
(CIRP) survey,
and every
year hundreds
of thousands
of freshmen
at two-
and four-year
colleges
and universities
across the
nation use
them to
tell their
schools
who they
are, how
they got
there and
what they
hope to
achieve
while in
school and
beyond.
Thanks
to comments
from our
previous
freshmen,
the University
has increased
athletic
activities
and study
abroad and
research
opportunities.
It also
expanded
university
resource
allocation
and counseling
center services,
and it extended
the hours
of operations
of the library
and the
counseling
center.
At
Howard,
the survey
is administered
by the Office
of Institutional
Assessment
& Evaluation,
headed by
Gerunda
Hughes,
Ph.D., in
conjunction
with the
Higher Education
Research
Institute
at UCLA.
The
survey asks
questions
about you,
your experiences
and your
aspirations,
such as
your high
school experience,
what you
value, your
educational
and career
plans and
what kind
of academic
support
and programs
you want
at Howard.
Howard
officials
look at
that information,
which is
published
annually
in The American
Freshman,
and consider
how we can
best serve
you and
the University’s
institutional
mission
and commitment
to its students.
While you
are here,
you will
have many
other such
opportunities
to provide
your input,
be it surveys,
focus groups
or Town
Hall meetings.
Please take
advantage
of these
opportunities.
So,
welcome
to the Howard
family,
and let
YOUR voice
be heard!
