We asked, you answered and we couldn’t be happier with the response.

More than 1,860 SBU alumni completed the Alumni Attitude Study we conducted this spring. That’s double the response rate for college surveys of this kind, reflecting the passion of our alumni and their desire to help us understand what matters most to them.

The early returns are certainly encouraging.

More than 96% of respondents have a “good to excellent” opinion of the university today, with 71% saying excellent. That’s 29% above the national average for excellent.

Even better? 98% of our alumni had a “good to excellent” experience during their time as students at St. Bonaventure, with 73% saying excellent. That’s 33% higher than the national average.

PEG Ltd., the firm that worked with our Office of Alumni Engagement to create and distribute the survey, will continue sharing detailed survey results with us. Once we’ve had an opportunity over the summer to more closely examine the results, we will provide a more comprehensive report in the winter edition of Bonaventure magazine.

On behalf of the survey committee at the university that developed and promoted the survey, I can’t thank participants enough for taking the time to complete the survey. Your feedback will be invaluable as we work toward creating a more meaningful experience for our alumni and students.
