Project Successful Due to m/research® from Modern Survey and Global Lead Management Consulting

August 15, 2007 (Minneapolis) - The “Opinion Survey on Campus Climate” initiated at the end of April by the University of St. Thomas queried campus staff, students and faculty and produced a valid data set for analysis. The survey built upon prior efforts that began in 1995. Global Lead recommended Modern Survey’s technology and expertise to leverage m/research® for survey deployment to the population. The result was streamlined data collection, reporting and analytics.

Rapidly deployed through Modern Survey’s m/research® platform, the survey was made available to students, staff and faculty for a three-week period. Real-time reports were available throughout the process while maintaining strict confidentiality criteria standard to such surveys. This significantly reduced the wait time over prior studies that required tabulation or had restrictive limits on gleaning results.

The project’s success echoed the words of Dr. Lawrence Potter Jr., executive director of institutional diversity for St. Thomas to respondents, “Your time investment (in taking the survey) is well spent.”
