Project Description
This study will collect and analyze data on the experiences of our campus community, focusing on mental health, well-being, and how these affect student’s academic performance and persistence. Online surveys will be conducted in the fall semesters for three years (2019-2021) on a sample of students, faculty and staff. The 2019 student survey has completed. Data are ready for analysis. This project has three main goals: (1) to understand barriers and facilitators of our students’ success; (2) to investigate the mental health status of students, faculty, and staff of the University of Akron; (3) to involve undergraduate students in questionnaire development, data collection, and analysis process of a real research project. Current Undergraduate Opportunities: You are encouraged to contact me for participating in the designing of the 2020 surveys and/or opportunities of using the 2019 student survey data to develop research papers for professional conferences.
