Why the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is Partnering with Hanover Research
“The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is excited about the partnership recently created with Hanover Research. Hanover has a proven track record for launching quality research projects which deliver access to actionable data in a timely fashion. The first project engaging the partnership will focus on identifying students who have left the university to learn more about their experience while on campus and their reason for leaving. Our goal is to understand why these students left the institution and what strategic adjustments can we make as a University to meet the needs of our unique student population. During a time when resources are limited on campus, partnering with Hanover Research allows us to obtain the data necessary to achieve our strategic goals while capitalizing on the experience of researchers knowledgeable with the ever-changing landscape of higher education.”

The Australian National University Evaluates Its Student Family Accommodation
“The Australian National University is working to ensure it offers the best accommodation to its students. Family housing on campus is not often available in Australia, so we wanted to understand if this is something that is needed, and what value it would provide. We had the idea but needed details on what our peers around the world are providing in the family accommodation space.”
– Margaret Murphy, Associate Director for University Performance.
