I am personally very active in the professional organization attending all board meetings, regular meetings, and serve as chapter representative at the state meetings. Since the school is very small, I urge students to participate in the professional organization and their community outreach programs. During the Hurricane Katrina, members signed up to do the transcription of the hospitals that were disabled by the hurricane. Recently the association participated in the Susan Komen Walk for the Cure for breast cancer. I do a graduate survey in addition to the TWC form to determine if the books and supplies the students are using are relevant. I ask the graduates to give the strengths and weaknesses of the program. As time permits, I will also begin to survey the students who did not finish the course for other than academic reasons to evaluate how to enhance the enrollment procedures and course information so hopefully retention will be enhanced. This course also presented the idea of alumni survey which I think is a great idea! It lets the school know what the students are doing and keeps them in touch with the school.
