Thank you to all who participated in our annual fall phonathon. A group of 25 faculty, staff and parents from the Parent and Family Advisory Council called over 400 families on Wednesday, Dec. 2. We were able to speak with 213 of you and we left messages with another 148 of you who were not home.
We received overwhelming feedback that your daughters (and sons on the Minneapolis campus) are having very good experiences — we heard wonderful stories of students making great friends, enjoying their classes and relationships with faculty and new-found friends, getting involved on campus, and getting through the first semester with some bumps, but making the transition pretty smoothly.
We also heard some concerns of students having difficulty finding a job on campus and got some good questions about billing, dining services, registration and financial aid, and how to help your daughters become more involved on campus. We followed up with 76 specific questions and hopefully your questions were answered.
We have shared feedback with various offices on campus regarding the suggestions that you provided. For example, a couple parents suggested that we provide a Spanish and a Hmong version of the Referral and Resource Guide (a great idea). So please know we listened.
If you were one of the households who we were not able to speak with in person, or if you still have questions or anything to share, please feel free to contact Ellen Richter-Norgel, director of student retention, at (651) 690-8730 or erichter-norgel@stkate.edu.
Again, thank you! We really enjoyed our conversations with you.
