STUDENT VOICE COMMITTEE (SVC) Survey Infographics + Survey Request Form - SECOND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS UPDATE!!!!:


Hello Highlanders!

My name is Mark Hanin and I am the Vice-Chair of the Student Voice Committee (SVC). I would like to begin by once again introducing more of who we are, what our aim is as a committee in greater detail, as well as provide the second of our External Affairs Update for this academic year. 

The Student Voice Committee is a non-political committee under the Associated Students of UCR (ASUCR) dedicated to figuring out the needs, wants, and desires of the student body. We accomplish this by conducting polls, surveys, and individual research on the relevant topics and issues that concern UCR students. Afterwards, we aggregate the data we collect and present it to our student government, campus administration, and student body at large. 

The aim of our committee is to simply ensure that your voices as students are being heard, represented, and acted upon by the University as part of its governing process. 

With that being said, we would like to uphold our commitment by presenting you, the student body, with the results of the two surveys that we conducted during Winter Quarter. Specifically, we would like to present you with the results of both the "ASUCR Elections Survey" and the "Political Impact Survey" customized as infographics in PDF file format found right below for your convenience. 

ASUCR Elections Survey: https://asucr.ucr.edu/sites/g/files/rcwecm1866/files/2021-04/ASUCR%20Elections.pdf 

Political Impact Survey: https://asucr.ucr.edu/sites/g/files/rcwecm1866/files/2021-04/Political%20Impact.pdf


If you would like to know more of what we do throughout the year as a committee, feel free to also view some of our past work and results under our committee page on the ASUCR website using the following link: https://asucr.ucr.edu/leadership/voice/previous.

Finally, please do know that you are always able to complete a Survey Request Form indicating the topic(s) that you would like for us to cover in our future surveys. Individual students AND on-campus student organizations are more than welcome to complete the form.

The link to the form can be found right here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdaTRao-eqmtCQYhN5VqKWBPOnT64cuN7fbZhzc4bhX-krIHw/viewform. 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at asucrsvc at ucr.edu.

Best regards,

Mark Hanin
Vice-Chair of Student Voice Committee
