For Faculty: To understand the parity between the students’ views, opinions and thoughts and the reality of the situation. Gain an outsiders (but a part of the ecosystem) perspective into the lives of the students and their actions. The initiatives taken by the college to assist the students with their holistic development. (A separate questionnaire will be designed for the faculty to gauge their perspective of the need-gaps.)
