Survey Results Summary
In 2012, 111 Palmer alumnae, representing classes from 1940 – 2011 participated in a needs assessment survey. Read
on for a summary of the findings (full results available here.)
Key Insights:
• Eighty-eight percent of respondents are not willing to pay additional homecoming brunch costs to cover the expense of
receiving a printed invite. Homecoming invitations currently account for 25 percent of the cost of homecoming brunch.
• Growing and overseeing the endowed scholarship has strong support from the respondents. People would prefer to grow the
scholarship through a renewed giving campaign with a target goal rather than hosting small event fundraisers.
• Nearly all respondents want to receive communications from the society. The most preferred methods of communication are
email, the website, and Facebook.
• There is high interest in networking and job mentoring within Palmers. The interest is especially high among recent alumnae.
More respondents would be willing to serve as a mentor than receive mentoring.
• More alumnae would like to meet socially than those who are currently meeting with other alumnae. This is also true for nonlocal respondents.
• Interest in community service events is highest among recent alumnae. Most would prefer participating in an existing cause than
creating a unique project.
• Both out-of-area and local respondents expressed some interest in providing service to Palmer alumnae. Respondents were split
on whether they would contribute financial support for alumnae needs (events, communications needs, etc.)

32. Is there a special skill that you would like to help mentor the actives with at their
request? Example: career expertise, sewing, time management, event planning,
mediation, etc.
•
Advice/mentoring for actives interested in the
health professions (albeit via e-mail for the time
being)
•
Building power/power-mapping running for office •
being engaged in politics community organizing to •
change public policy empowering women to take
leadership roles in their professional development
I love to edit papers!
•
I teach English as a second language at an OC
community college. I'd be happy to talk to future
community college educators.
I'd have to really think about it before giving an
answer.
•
Medicine
•
Non-profit management
•
Business, financial planning, accounting
•
•
Career Expertise - High School Teacher 38 years
Volunteer Dog Trainer, Teacher's Union Leadership
Skills
•
Career expertise (Human Resources and Federal
Government employment) Health and nutrition
management/ time management.
I teach leadership and have developed several
corporate mentoring programs -- perhaps I can
help?
Sewing, teaching, interview skills, moving forward
after a history/incident of abuse, vegan cooking
•
Social work/career planning/internships/graduate
school applications
•
Special Education working with children
•
The issue for me is distance. I'm out of state. I
would be interested in mentoring an active on
something like application resumes for scholarships
- or something that can be done from a distance/via
email etc.
•
•
Career expertise-elementary education, special
education
•
Career planning
•
Class room teaching Elementary level
•
Crochet, Rolling Spaghetti with a Fork (Table
Manners)
•
High School Education
•
•
•
I can talk to poli sci grads about community
•
organizing if they are trying to figure out what to do
with a poli sci degree.
I volunteer a great deal through my church. My
husband is somewhat of an invalid. Time,
therefore, is limited. I am a retired teacher and
would be glad to talk with a person interested in
pursuing education as a career.
I would like a way to publicize the fact that my
organization needs college interns. Palmers would
be perfect, but I currently know of no way to get the
•
word out about this. I am happy to use my
•
connections to help an active secure an internship
with my org (nationwide opportunities).
•
I would LOVE to mentor actives, but I'm out of the
country for work most of the time. In a few years, if
I transfer back to the US, I would get more involved.
Time management and about my major/career.
