UCSF to Survey Satellite Locations on Campus Life

UCSF is looking to assess the opinions of faculty, staff and students who teach, work and learn at the satellite locations - everyone except those on the Parnassus and Mission Bay campuses. The UCSF Campus Community Centers Advisory Council will conduct a survey in late May to get feedback from the thousands of people stationed at small- to medium-sized satellite locations, including Laurel Heights, Mission Center, Mount Zion and Executive Park. The council, which advises Senior Vice Chancellor Steve Barclay, serves as a resource to UCSF departments, organizations, individuals and its neighboring communities to improve and sustain a high quality of campus life. Council members include a cross-section of the UCSF campus as well as two members from the community at large. Since UCSF's two campus community centers, which offer a plethora of activities and events, are located at Parnassus Heights and Mission Bay, the council wants to learn what how the University can better serve those at other locations. When the Mount Zion campus community wanted an indoor place to work out, Campus Life Services donated some equipment. Read story here. The council's survey group has been working with a consultant Gene Bregman to determine what questions will provide constructive feedback to Campus Life Services. Questions ask people to offer their opinions on the quality of services, such as café food and fitness classes, and how often and to which destinations do they ride the campus shuttles. One question specifically asks Laurel Heights' occupants if they want a locker and shower room. Results from the survey will be used to determine what service changes are necessary and how to prioritize initiatives to further enhance the quality of life at satellite sites.
