Alumni Survey: 2019 Report

 Summary

UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts developed and disseminated its first institution-wide alumni survey in October 2010. Given the success of the initial alumni survey project, UMass Chan now surveys alumni on every 5th year anniversary. For 2019 alumni survey, the overall response rate was 24% (421/1731). School-specific response rates are 19% (29/156) and 20% (37/187) for Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing, respectively, with a combined response rate of 26% (355/1388) for T.H. Chan School of Medicine and Graduate Medical Education (GME). T.H. Chan School of Medicine and GME response rates were combined because alumni who graduated from T.H. Chan School of Medicine and GME were listed once in master dataset.

The Provost and Chancellor’s Offices have specified an alumni survey will continue to be disseminated each year to those graduates celebrating their 5th, 10th, 15th, etc. reunion. The results from this annual survey will provide UMass Chan with up to date mailing addresses and career information of its alumni, which will allow the university to better track the individual, and collective, success of its graduates.
