SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Oct 22, 2002--Miller-Williams Inc., the leader in customer value research, this month invited students at 35 colleges and universities to participate in their bi-annual National Campus Listening Post. Students may participate through Dec. 15, 2002.
Beyond academic differences it is the campus environment or lifestyle that makes the college experience unique. The student facilities, dining services, parks, libraries, activities and many other social opportunities are often what differentiate campuses. Miller-Williams` research will determine what students` expectations are of their ideal campus lifestyle and where the largest gaps lie with their current campuses in meeting that ideal. Universities that advocate student participation will be eligible to receive a complimentary report of demographic and behavioral data from Miller-Williams that details student views on binge drinking, preferences toward residential options, use of public transportation and whether most students are dining on or off campus, among others.
''Participation is a great way for students to have their opinions heard in a positive and effective manner and university administrators will find the results an essential part of campus planning initiatives'', said Amy Ferraro, director of research at Miller-Williams Inc. In return for survey participation Miller-Williams will enter every student in a drawing to win a trip for two to Cancun, Mexico or one-of-five $100 cash prizes. Results of the survey will be posted within eight weeks. For more information on the survey, and to participate, visit www.millwill.com/campus.htm.
