Welcome Week 2011Overall Key Findings cont.•Working with Service & Engagement hosts throughout the year ontheir Welcome Week content led to students indicating they realizedthey could make an impact on a specific issue; going from 63% (2009) to83% (2011). There was also an increase in the students that recognizedhow community engagement could be a part of their college experience;going from 59% (2009) to 77% (2011).•Implementation of SCVNGR made the Community Explorationtrips much more interactive. A total of 83% of post test respondentsindicated the experience gave them the opportunity to interact withothers, this was 59% in 2010.Welcome Week AttendanceIn collaboration with the U Card Office, Welcome Week was able totrack attendance at many events by scanning the U Cards of students.This allowed for accurate data to be collected during Welcome Weekprogramming. Attendance was also tracked through the use of smallgroup rosters (completed by Welcome Week Leaders), and wristbandsfrom other departments. The chart on the next page outlinesparticipation of students who are still enrolled after 10th Daycounts (5,368).Welcome Week LeadersWelcome Week Leaders went through a selection process this year,instead of self-selecting themselves out of the program. The number ofapplications were narrowed from 776 to 609 after the evaluation roundin February. These students continued through two training sessionsin March and April and returned for Prep Week in August.There were 420 leaders (see pages 50-53 for the names of theseleaders) who dedicated approximately 100 hours of their time to attendtraining and lead groups of new students through Welcome Week.This is roughly the same number as 2010, however the retention rateover the summer increased from 68% in 2010 to 81% in 2011, whichis most likely due to the new selection process (see page 30 for chart).28
The leadership experience of Welcome Week Leaders continues to bea focus for the Welcome Week program and great strides are beingmade to keep the leaders engaged. The data from the last two yearsdemonstrates the effectiveness of this focus.Welcome Week AttendanceEvent Tracking System 10th DayAttendanceWW EventSelection% of Classof 2015OR Database 4,968 92.5%Exemptions OR Database 190 3.5%Move-in HRL 4,642* 86.5%WW Check-in U Card 5,145 95.8%Kick-Off Meeting Rosters 4,816 89.7%Convocation U Card 4,962 92.4%College Day Rosters 4,767 88.8%Pride & Spirit U Card 4,279 79.7%Fun Zone Wristbands 3,267* 61.4%Live Like A Student Rosters 3,812 71%You at the U andwhat that has to dowith WooRosters 3,833 71.4%Jermain Davis U Card 3,769 70.2%Gophers After Dark Wristbands 1,960* 36.8%Explore-U U Card 4,014 74.8%EngagementExperienceRosters 3,482 64.9%Mall of America U Card 2,503 46.6%CommunityExploration &Closure MeetingRosters 3,079 57.4%*These numbers are not tracked on an individual basis, therefore the percent ofClass of 2015 is an estimate, there is no way to tell if those at the event are stillenrolled in the University.29
