What is MyCampus?

MyCampus is an interactive mapping tool, developed by Sasaki, which helps reveal patterns in how students, faculty, and staff use the Hofstra campus. MyCampus composes a detailed snapshot of the community’s experience on campus: frequently and rarely used spaces, the linkages between their destination, and their perception of the campus as a whole. Knowing where people go and how they get there helps the master planning team discover patterns, challenges, and opportunities on the campus. Once the MyCampus survey has been completed by the community, the master planning team will use the results to inform the vision and principles of the master plan.

What does MyCampus do?

The master planning process is a collaboration between the Steering Committee, the consultant team, and the larger Hofstra community – including you. The MyCampus survey is one of the ways in which you can voice your opinions about the campus: what you like about it, what makes it unique, and what you think could be improved. The master plan will shape the way Hofstra looks and feels in the years to come – from buildings and open space, to the way in which different campus systems work together. MyCampus is one of the ways in which you can have a direct impact on your living and working environment, towards making it a more collaborative, interdisciplinary, and exciting place to be.

How will my data be used?

Your responses to the MyCampus survey are anonymous, and analysis of the data will maintain your privacy.

How does it work?

The MyCampus survey has two parts: the interactive mapping section, followed by a text-based survey. The entire survey is designed to take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. In the mapping section, you will be asked to mark up the campus map with icons to tell the team about where you go on campus, and how you get there. If a particular icon does not apply to you, you do not have to mark it on the map. After you complete the mapping section, the text-based survey will ask you a set of questions, as well as demographic information (your campus, department, affiliation). The text-based survey will allow the results to be filtered, so the master plan team can look at patterns within specific groups in the community (ie, faculty, first-year students, etc).
