UniSmart is very effective
– we know because our audience tells us it is!
The UniSmart New Students’ Survey has been conducted annually since 2005. The data tells us what is top of mind for new students when they first arrive at university. This information informs the ever-evolving content of the UniSmart presentation.
We ask questions about student social (and anti-social) habits, living situation, finances and future plans. Plus of course, we ask our audiences what they think about UniSmart.
Feedback influences the content of our presentation in a major way and enables us to reflect and respond by updating the content.
Rating the impact of UniSmart
Overwhelmingly, the survey feedback is positive (93% in 2017 rate it as ‘Awesome’ or ‘Good’) and supports the value of the presentation as part of a new student induction programme. Students talk of feeling welcomed, relieved, engaged and informed by UniSmart . Survey results reassure us of the value of the presentation in terms of induction – and ultimately retention. The collected data provides invaluable evidence for our clients.
Check out results from recent surveys and compare the performance of your current induction programme to UniSmart.
