ASA mailing The Institute Dining Review Working Group is seeking students to assist in facilitating a series of focus group meetings planned for the week of November 5-9, 1996. These groups will consist of students, faculty, staff and alumni and represent an important part of our data gathering process. If you are interested in assisting, the Working Group will provide a one-hour training session on how to conduct a focus group, a script for you to use to conduct your focus groups, and then ask you to lead one or two focus groups and summarize the results. We anticipate an overall time commitment of 4-8 hours for student focus group facilitators. Professor Drazen Prelec, Associate Professor of Marketing at the Sloan School, will lead the training session.
Participation is limited and on a first-come basis.
Additionally, as always, if you have any thoughts or feelings on dining, either your own or anything you'd like to pass on, please send them to us via email. Its purpose will be to provide useful information about classes, activities, groups, places, and events targeted primarily for women. Also, it will provide personal perspectives on gender issues at MIT, with impressions from a wide range of women about life at MIT, as well as regular columnists who will answer questions. The designers of the webpage are looking for submissions to add to the page. It has now been a few weeks since the announcement that all student services were to be moved under the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs.
