Presenters: Amanda Scally and David Shanks
Department: Residential Life
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore residential students' attitudes toward virtual and in person engagement during COVID-19. The pandemic has caused many engagement opportunities to be facilitated virtually. This data will be used to develop engagement opportunities to help students build connections on campus. To collect this data, residents were sent an 8 Question Mixed Methods Qualtrics Survey in Fall 2020. Residential Life programming (virtual or in person) led to 20% of respondent's ability to make a new connection. This study reveals that in person events were the most meaningful for students even though they have limitations due to social distancing guidelines.
