That 75% of our students are 24 or younger? That 40% speak another language in addition to English? You may already know that facts like these are available from Institutional Research Director Bob Cowin and his number-crunching team, Barb Brawn and Carmen Mahood. But beyond tracking changing student demographics, Institutional Research plays a crucial role in tracking outcomes of College programs and directions. “One interesting study we’ ve done recently is the follow-up survey for former students,” says Cowin. “We contacted students approximately nine months after they left Douglas College to see what they were up to academically and occupationally.” Follow-up survey results show that 71% of former academic students have taken further studies since leaving the College, with 43% going on to a BC university. Sixty-five percent of former occupational students reported that their studies were ‘‘completely worthwhile,” with 92% of these students reporting that they are now in the labour force in some capacity. And what do all former students surveyed rate as the number one aspect of their College experience? “Quality of teaching,” which came in first at 67.5%, with instructor availability and program organization coming in close behind.
