In our continuing efforts to improve our programs and services for our distance learning students, we ask for your feedback in a variety of formats. You receive course/instructor evaluations as you complete each course. You also receive a student services evaluation on an annual basis. Periodically, we send e-mail questionnaires to ask for input about changes that have been made in policies and procedures.  As our programs continue to grow and we look toward finding the most efficient and effective ways in which to serve your needs, we will be continuing to ask for your input. We appreciate the time you take to fill out these evaluations.  We take the results very seriously and make appropriate changes in our systems. 

To become more proactive in obtaining information and feedback from our students, we are developing a student advisory board.  The purpose of this group will be to review new and current processes and give input as to changes that can be made in our programs to be the most beneficial to you, the students. In addition, we will be asking for your ideas on new initiatives that we should review for implementation.  By having this information obtained with student input "up front," we will be able to be more proactive in serving your needs.

We will plan on the group beginning its work in January 2002.  We want to get a good cross-section of people on the advisory board (i.e., different majors, various stages of a program, gender mix, etc.). We will plan to meet monthly, either via conference call or listserv (or chat), for approximately 2 hours.  Please contact Dawn Drake at 1-800-362-5460or e-mail drake@uwplatt.edu to indicate an interest in serving on the advisory board or to ask questions about its purpose.
