Today, April 16, 2020, Ally and I completed our 24th and final interview of this data collection phase. We chatted with a great College of Nursing student and celebrated with a virtual high-five.

Student Engagement Network Summit Presentation
On Wednesday, Ally and I had the chance to present initial findings at the Student Engagement Network Summit. We had a packed room and lots of excitement around our work. It was exciting to share our work with a wider audience and to feel that those in the room were excited as well.
Below are our slides — feel free to reach out to myself or Ally if you have questions. We’re excited to hear your thoughts and see what’s next for our project.
Building our data set to recruit our participants: A work in progress
Yesterday, Ally and I sent out our first round of recruitment emails.

As we anxiously check to see if any have responded to our inquiry, it’s probably a good time to return to the question of: how are recruiting these students? What did we end up with for our data set?
How to build a “reasonable” data set to sample from
With the fall semester quickly approaching (next Monday), I’m trying to get this project ready for launch. I’ve got a few interviews lined up for the student research position (still accepting applications!) and need to revisit my interview questions. However, the big question I’m tackling this week is creating a data set (of students) to sample and select to interview.
