What tool can be used by OC members to gain insights about new members’ expectations?

Pre-orientation surveys are an effective tool for OC members to gather insights about new members’ expectations. These surveys allow for structured data collection before the orientation begins, ensuring that the OC can understand what new members hope to gain from the experience. By asking targeted questions about specific expectations, motivations, and interests, the committee can tailor the orientation program to better meet the needs of incoming members, aligning the content and activities with their expectations.

Using pre-orientation surveys not only helps identify common trends or concerns among new members but also encourages engagement from the outset. This process can foster a more welcoming and supportive environment, setting a positive tone for the orientation experience. Additionally, results from these surveys can guide OC members in their planning and adjustments to ensure that new members feel heard and valued right from the start.
