The Division of Student Affairs Annual Awards and Recognition event recognizes the achievements of our gifted and dedicated staff and allows us to be reminded of our mission to enhance student learning at the University of Georgia.
The Division of Student Affairs is committed to creating a satisfying work environment where every employee is afforded the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. To this end, it is critical that we assess the needs and desires of our staff to determine how best to serve them. In September 2005 we developed and distributed the survey to full-time staff of the Division of Student Affairs. We learned quite a bit and plan to continue to assess our work as a whole as well as the individual events we sponsor.
Below you will find PDF files of the original survey as well as the report of our findings.
