STUDENTSProgram Evaluation Results Internal Institutional EnvironmentExternal EnvironmentStrengthsStrong Student Outcomes:*NBCOT exam pass rates above national average - 2014, 2015: 100% pass rate.*Graduation rate is 97% over 2014-15*Employment: (low response rate) per those who responded to survey, 95% employed within 6 months of graduation. Engaged Students & SOTA: *100% membership in AOTAstrong community service activities (Buckeye Wellness Center, CCBDD Food Pantry, Boo at the Zoo, Go Baby Go); *fundraising for community agency (Buckeye Wellness Center, Gigi); *brownbag lunches with a variety of speakers from community, AOTA. *Campus PR activities: bake sale, info tale in Student Center; Social events, *Increased attendance at OOTA and AOTA conferencesStudent Supports*Employment preparationAnnual Interview Day with Career Services after Level II FW*5 student scholarships* Annual monetary awards for service, leadership, research, and academic achievements*Students receive OOTA and AOTA scholarships*Each student assigned a FT faculty advisorGrowing monetary supports for students to attend conferences to present scholarship or projects.College of Graduate Studies now provides student orientation for incoming students to university services and opportunities for students to network.Annual College Research Day where students present posters on their research/projectsFaculty culture that is student-focusedStrong employment growth predictedSeveral large health care facilities in regionEmployment opportunities growing in schools and SNFsWeaknessesFinancial/Social/Cultural*Rising student debt; working and going to school full-time, multiple responsibilities*More requests to complete Level II FW in town due to financial and complex social issues*Lack of diversity of studentsSOTA: poor visibility on campus and interactions with other student organizations; not all students participate; what's in it for me vs attitude of serviceStudent Advising:Relatively unstructured systemGraduate students in health professions pay higher tuition rates than others.Number of graduate assistant positions declined this past year from 10 to 6. Student loans are structured for 9 month AY placing growing strain on students to pay summer tuition.Practice scholarships come and go based on need.OpportunitiesOutcome measures:*Explore other ways to contact students to determine employment*Revise alumni and employment surveys (too long) and update databases and distribution methods SOTA:Encourage SOTA to develop interprofessional community service initiatives: reach out to DPT, SPH, and undergraduate student clubsEncourage students to pursue service that leads to the concept of being a powerful OT; what activities will empower studentsStudent Supports:*Develop more student scholarships or other ways to help with financial pressures*Review and refine advising system*Alumni outreach to increase donations to student scholarships; email charitable contribution request every November; Emphasize at various events (distinguished speaker, AOTA conference)*Develop more structured ways to notify students of scholarship opportunities - look at timing of notifications - perhaps a SOTA role?Student Achievements*Enhance visibility of students and their achievements and accomplishments to college, university, region, nationally through PR initiativesThreatsFinancial*Rising tuition costs or continued shifting of expenses to students (e.g., cost of clinical sites)*Possible loss of more Graduate Assistant positions as these are shifted to PhD students from other departments in collegeFinancialStudent debt rising - a national problemSocial/CulturalElevation of entry-level degree to OTD creates additional barriers to diversifying workforce.Clinical sites Some sites beginning to or threatening to charge for student clinicals which could threaten students' exposure to certain practice areas and may create additional costs for students.2.
