Student Affiliation Study (2011 Strategic Plan)

Students at Hampshire affiliate with faculty and friends, but they do not easily affiliate with the College as a whole. We will explore this issue with an interview study with support from the institutional research office.

 * I don't think this is just an issue with students - I am often surprised by how many faculty seem to affiliate with their individual school more than the college as a whole. While that may matter less for Hampshire's image than student affiliation, it is possible that both may stem from the same problem. - Alynda Wood, Student
 * I think this may be more the result of our self-selecting student body than a lack of effort from the college. Hampshire students (generally) aren't joiners and don't identify with large institutions. It's an entire college populated by the people who never went to pep rallies in high school. -Mary Hannah Duhon F07
