Fall 2013

Prepared by the Office of Data Analytics and Institutional

Research (DAIR)

February 2014

Data Analytics and Institutional Research/AUC 2

Executive Summary Introduction

The LEAD program, as part of the Leadership for Education and Development Program

and Middle East Partnership Initiative Tomorrow's Leaders at the American University in

Cairo (AUC), conducted a survey with LEAD students to obtain feedback about LEAD

coordinators as well as the program’s mission and objectives. This survey was conducted

in cooperation with the Office of Data Analytics and Institutional Research (DAIR) as an

online survey. The LEAD office intends to use the survey findings to improve their

program.

On December 19, 2013 the Office of Data Analytics and Institutional Research (DAIR),

emailed survey invitations to 182 LEAD students. Two survey email reminders were sent

on January 2 and 12, 2014 and the survey remained accessible until end of January 20,

2014. When the survey was closed, 40 students were completed the survey (22%).

Section V: General comments Suggestions for improvement:

§ The number of students who travel abroad should be bigger § i need a coordinator that is not very busy § I think the scholarship should try to allow a semester abroad to the students, as

it will help them a lot when they are exposed to a completely different culture. § More individual and general meetings. § "I know that this might be impossible, but let Iman run her show both on stage

and backstage levels. The tools given to her by the office are completely blocking her way of doing things. I don't think there is anything unfair about a coordinator tailoring her tools to the cohort. I actually think it’s unfair to generalist tools. Every group of people have its needs that needs to be addressed the way she sees best. The generalization of assessment tools came because of trust issues at the time. She is way beyond such a thing and the learning process now is way beyond fairness of grading. Other than that I repeat, she is awesome!"

§ She may try to meet us more, talk to us, encourage us because throughout the semester, one gets really pressured and needs someone to support. Also, it is important to meet not to forget about the activity thing and the extracurricular work.

§ Common activities and outings. Other comments:

§ My coordinator is very supportive and helpful. The more time I spend at AUC and with LEAD office, I understand what it means to be a 'student life coordinator' I am very satisfied in the program and glad to be part of it.

§ We will miss her :D § In general, every thing is good, although we need to move freely using AUC

buses. We don't have bus pass. § "Encourage Iman's spirit to spread over in the office. Bring more people like her

to the team. She is very dynamic and has a very high potential in improving the stagnancy in the staff. I never thought I'd want someone to replace XXX, but now I wish we had Iman earlier on. We are a lucky cohort. Make sure other cohorts have similar experience."

§ Hoda is best coordinator, I will miss her. I wish that stay for us forever :D
