Oshkosh Citizen Survey - UWO Public Policy

Posted by Justin Mitchell Thursday, June 25, 2009

Several weeks ago, a report complied by a UW Oshkosh Public Policy Analysis class was released which detailed the results of a citizen survey completed by 255 randomly selected Oshkosh households. The Report can be found HERE. Note that this report is a seperate report from the recently released "A Vision of Oshkosh" survey of the community that was conducted by A. Nelessen Associates (we'll add this study if a copy becomes available).

This report, the effort put in by the students, and the collaborative feel of this project is a great example of a way in which city and university can partner to serve the goals of both institutions. While providing students with valuable hands-on learning, our community significantly benefits by utilizing the resources, knowledge, and professionalism of the campus to review and improve our services.

I look forward to hearing about additional projects such as this study.

    I agree. It was an excellent partnership for both the city and the students.

    The students were learning how to design and build a study, how to assess the results while providing survey data to the city.

    Information is a key tool in decision making processes for all facets of operation and city life.

    As the learning proces continues for the students and the city, I envision greater value in a flourishing partnership for projects such as this one.
