“Analysis of Community-University Relationship Survey” (Sascha Goluboff)

On campus: this project is scheduled to begin on 6/9/2025 and run for 8 weeks, finishing on 8/1/2025.

Project Description

The Community-University survey, administered by the Office of Community-Based Learning, aims to understand the relationship between Washington and Lee University and the Lexington, Rockbridge, and Buena Vista community. Information gathered will focus on community members’ thoughts about their interactions with the university and its employees, students, and alumni, as well as their experiences on campus. Their answers will benefit the further development of community-university relationships. The student researcher will work closely with the Director of Community-Based Learning, with support from CBL Office staff, to analyze and interpret the data using quantitative analysis via statistical software such as SPSS, Stata, R or other programs. Opportunity exists for coauthoring an article based on this research.

Prerequisites

Students should have taken courses in data science and/or statistics and be comfortable working independently with the software.

Special Comments

Remote work is an option.
