Assessment and Information Management Committee
The purpose of the Assessment and Information Management Committee is to conduct, analyze, report, and retain research in the various areas related to student housing and residence life and maintain the membership database.
Committee Goals:
-
Communication- Maintain good lines of communication with each other and other committees. Share the information and results of our committee through the contribution of magazine articles and putting information on the committee website. Make sure that information is communicated to all members of the association in understandable and user-friendly ways. Aid the rest of the association in understanding our purpose and goals, so that the committee may best serve the needs of the association. Communicate with other regional association assesment committees to determine what is being done nationally.
-
Technology- Enhance our committee website with new committee info; keep the website up to date. Place important committee documents on-line. Continue to use technology in all of our committee work, but also make sure that there is a human aspect to our dissemination of information.
-
Presentations- Submit a proposal for each survey completed plus separately sponsored and/or presented by our committee at the annual conference. Encourage people to present even if they are not as comfortable with research. Strive to make each presenation unique and interesting, possibly using one of them as a Focus Group to gain further qualitative information for a current survey topic.
-
Grants- Increase the number of applicants for research grants through an increase in publicity for this opportunity and how it works. Work towards building personal connections with grad programs and others completing research in the region. Maintain accountability for grant recipients to report their research back to the association. Have the research grant applications or information about them available at the annual conference.
-
Fun- Have fun in committee meetings; allow others to see research can be fun! Continue to present a “research can be fun” activity for other committees at Summer Meeting.
- Utilization- Determine what research and assessment member institutions and staff members are currently completing within the region. Identify their needs and how the AIM Committee can best meet these needs. Encourage committee members to be creative when developing research/survey ideas in order to further meet the needs of the association and its members.
