2012 Penn Senior Survey Results

The results of the 2012 Senior Survey have been released by the University’s Office of Institutional Research & Analysis.  The results were positive across the Services category, with the Campus Police/Campus Security earning a rating of 3.52, a very high level of satisfaction, and well above the ratings of our peer institutions. 

 

 

 

 

The survey results are featured today in the Daily Pennsylvanian: Class of 2012 Survey Results Show Overall Satisfaction with School Offerings

From the article:  Executive Director for Education and Academic Planning in the Provost’s Office Rob Nelson stressed that he was pleased with the sense of satisfaction with safety and security on campus — 96 percent said they were satisfied with campus security and police — and the higher average satisfaction with recreational facilities than students reported in 2010. He attributed much of the increase to the opening of Penn Park.
