Housing receives award for quality improvement

The Department of University Housing recently received a Commitment to Excellence Award for demonstrated dedication to continuous quality improvement.

Since 1998, the international assessment and analysis firm, Educational Benchmarking Inc., has gathered resident satisfaction information from students living on the campuses of institutions of higher education around the world.

A collaborative effort with the Association of College and University Housing Officers International, more than 220 institutions completed the 2005 assessment. This allowed these schools to compare their performance both internally and in contrast with peer institutions.

UGA’s Department of University Housing has consistently participated in these resident satisfaction surveys. Since that first year, quality improvement efforts have been expanded to include assessment of performance and satisfaction among the family and graduate housing apartment residents and the resident assistant student staff members.
