Final Community Meeting on Constituent Perception Research Study Findings

Jan. 12, 2017

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

Mark Neustadt, an experienced consultant who has worked with many colleges and universities over the past twenty-five years, met and interviewed multiple internal and external Brandeis constituencies between April and November.  He held focus groups, conducted two surveys of alumni/alumnae and prospective students, and interviewed many individuals. The goal of his project was to provide for us a snapshot of how Brandeis is perceived both here on campus and in the wider world, and how we might better communicate the university’s strengths, exceptional characteristics, history, and, ultimately, our institution’s aspirations.

Mark will be presenting his findings at the last of three community meetings on Wednesday, January 25, at 6:30 p.m., in Sherman Function Hall.  I hope many of you can make it.

Ron
