About two weeks prior to the survey, our dorm staff will start reminding students that the survey will be arriving in their email. Once the survey actually begins, dorm staff remind the students every day during dorm accountability meetings. Posters are put up around our center about a week before the survey starts. Our most successful activity has been to bring pizza/Soda to one of the dorm meetings during the survey period. The students are then told that they can have a couple slices of pizza and a soda if they complete the survey. We take the students at their word that they completed the survey when they come over for the snack. And, of course, new students who did not receive the survey also get the snack.
