Program Evaluation
Developing formal and informal mechanisms for program evaluation is crucial in assessing the effectiveness of GSA services and in instituting new programs. Formal evaluation of GSA's programs is carried out through surveys of major activities, followed by analysis and progress reports. The staff also obtains feedback and programming suggestions from the Graduate Student Affairs Advisory Committee (GSAAC), a group of faculty, students, and departmental staff committed to improving the graduate school experience. Our ability to track students throughout the admissions process and to prepare retention data continues to be important in the assessment of GSA's effectiveness. Informal evaluations of GSA events are conducted with individual students, student groups, and graduate faculty.
Located in 120 Allen Building, Graduate Student Affairs serves as a principal point of contact for all graduate students wishing to express their comments and concerns about the quality of graduate student life here at Duke. We urge you to take full advantage of the services offered by our office. You are welcome to come by at any time to talk about your experiences as a student or just to say hello.
