University Conducting Student Interview Project

The annual Student Interview Project is planned for spring semester 2012, and faculty and staff members are invited to conduct interviews.

This year’s project addresses academic stress at Truman. Approximately 100 undergraduates will be interviewed early in the spring semester with a focus on identifying factors that contribute to higher or lower levels of academic stress. Interviews will be concluded by the middle of February and the results will be published for the entire University community. The results of last year’s study are available at assessment.truman.edu/almanac/index.asp.

Faculty and staff members who sign up for a one-hour time slot normally will interview two students during that hour. Interview questions and instructions will be provided.

Interviews will be conducted with a student co-interviewer. The faculty/staff member may bring a student co-interviewer of their choice or a volunteer co-interviewer can be provided. Preference should be indicated when selecting an interview time. To sign up, contact Elaine McDuff, Student Interview Project chair, at emcduff@truman.edu or 785.4360.
