For Institutions
The core of SNAAP’s work is providing confidential, Institutional Reports for institutions that participate in the SNAAP survey. The Institutional Reports present and analyze the responses of a participating institution’s arts alumni. Institutions have used their SNAAP data for, Alumni & Donor Outreach, Recruitment, Program & Curricular Change, Planning & Assessment and Advocacy.
Administrators, staff and faculty describe how they use SNAAP data to improve their programs in the SNAAP Casebook.
This compilation of direct quotes from administrators illustrates how they use SNAAP data and the value they provide.
Each of these conversations contributed a case to this collection – a casebook – of examples where administrators, staff, and faculty have used SNAAP data to help their institutions and programs. In some cases, the best value came from using their own institutional SNAAP data. For other cases, using and comparing to aggregate (national) SNAAP data proved pivotal. We have found that the main applications of the data include revamping recruiting efforts, implementing new and relevant curriculum, and formulating proposals that resulted in funding for programs.
