2010 Hansen Alumni Survey Results

Still wondering how people responded to the recent alumni survey,

You, the Hansen Summer Institute and the Future?

We were really pleased with the overall response rate of the survey and captured a lot of information that we hope will allow us to bring you relevant and meaningful programming. Many of you commented on how the Hansen program taught you valuable communication skills, respect for the points of view of others, an appreciation for a free and open exchange of ideas and the trust of lasting friendships.

Here are some highlights from the survey:

Over 90% of total Hansen Summer Institute participants responded to the survey. The survey was sent to all 82 participants, 5 graduate student assistants and interns, and 2 program administrators.

Nearly 96% of respondents indicated that they have spoken to other Hansen Summer Institute program participants within the past year.

Over 30% of respondents indicated that they were in touch with 5-10 program participants within the past year.

Over 30% of respondents indicated that they were able to visit or meet with program participants within the past year.

Nearly 19% of respondents indicated that since attending the Hansen Summer Institute they have completed a master’s degree.

Many of you are currently engaged in profound and exciting projects in your respective countries: from mediation in small claims court, participating in youth advisory panels, graduate research in democratic theory, and so much more.

Over the next few months we hope to hear more about the important contributions that you are making within your communities.
