Center opens
evaluation survey
OU’s Women’s Outreach
Center has released their
breast health program-
ming survey to determine
whether programming has
impacted students.
The end-of-the-semester
survey has been used in
the past for assessment
and to plan succeeding
semesters, said Kathy
Moxley, Women's Outreach
Center director.
“The survey usually
helps us access how
well our programming
has been,* Moxley said.
“We've utilized this tool for
the past five years, and it
definitely has helped us
determine plans for the
future and also determine
which programming events
students have participated
in.”
The survey is open
through the end of finals
week, Moxley said.
*We are interested in
students’ feedback,’
Moxley said. ‘So if stu-
dents want a say in the
future programs, we want
their opinion.*
