In-Depth Interviews

Service

• “We are a big school within the college. No one knows anything about us. If they could team up with Mizzou ASB with a social work trip, that would be really cool and people would get to know us.”

• “It would also be great if there were more service opportunities through the school geared towards volunteering. That would help give us contacts for after graduation. ”

Visibility

• “The only times I've looked at the website is to see the list of classes, and the numbers aren't accurate so it was fruitless. ”

• “They should promote the program as a whole more. As a psychology undergrad, I knew very little information about the School of Social Work. Luckily, I got placed in a social work class and loved it. This made me want to continue to take social work classes.”

Frustrations

• “Our lack of physical space and cohesion. It speaks to our cohesion or lack there of in our department. The lack of cohesion is felt by the students.” – Faculty Member

• “The PP&A program is not promoted enough… we have to take some of our required courses online… and that’s really really frustrating because that’s not what I signed up for, that’s not how I learn.”

Findings

• Partnerships

• Online presence

• Other programs

• Lack of awareness

Target Profile

“I’m at a point in my life where I know where my

aspirations lie, but I’m unsure of the next steps to take

in order to get there. I want to pursue a career in

something that will allow me to help others. For me,

the best part is knowing I have done something for

someone other than myself. It isn't about the lavish

lifestyle or a career behind a desk. I have been

researching graduate programs, but the price of

tuition is weighing heavily on my decision making.”

A Day in the Life

7:00am - Maria wakes up and

begins her morning routine -

which invoices checking her

Facebook and twitter feeds to

catch up on events from the

night before, and to see what

will be happening today.

8:10 - While walking to

class, Maria listens to

Spotify. She hears an ad for

Starbucks and decides she

should grab a cup of coffee.

Maria is a 21-year-old junior at MU studying psychology.

1:55pm - After finishing her last

class for the day, Maria starts

walking home. She notices a flyer

about an upcoming event on

campus and makes a mental note to

visit the website later.

5:55pm - Tired from reading the

tomorrow’s discussion, Maria

decided to check her Instagram

to see what everyone else is

doing. She notices her favorite

store is having a surprise sale

and decides to check it out.

A Day in the Life

8:15pm - Maria pulls up the

Missourian website and sees a

feature store about a charity

fundraiser by a local business. She

shares the article with her friends on

Facebook and encourages them to

attend.
