The sample includes TTU faculty and staff from each college and several other academic units. The respondents report a total number of 5,661 outreach and engagement projects or activities and a median number of four projects or activities per respondent. The most commonly addressed areas of concern are “Education, Pre-kindergarten through 12th Grade”; “Children, Youth, and Family”; and “Public Understanding and Adult Learning”. The most commonly reported forms of outreach and engagement are “Service on Boards, Committees, and Commissions”, “Technical or Expert Assistance”; ”Engaged Research and Creative Activity”; and “Engaged Instruction: Public Events and Understanding”. The most commonly reported sources of funding are “Internal University” and “Non-Profit Organizations (if not reflected by other categories)”. 46.4% of the respondents report an overall dollar amount of funding generated by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of $39,265,179 in overall funding and a median of $21,000 in overall funding per respondent. 37.2% of the respondents report a dollar amount of funding for TTU generated by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of $24,126,595 in funding for TTU and a median of $24,000 in funding for TTU per respondent. 60.6% of the respondents report that K-12 student and teacher participants were involved in their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of 194,905 K-12 participants and a median of 100 K-12 participants per respondent. 80.5% of the respondents report that non-TTU participants were involved in their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of 245,805 non-TTU participants and a median of 125 non-TTU participants per respondent. The most commonly reported partnerships for the respondents’ outreach and engagement are “Non-profit organizations” and “K-12 Schools”. Respondents report outreach and engagement that has had or will have an impact on all 254 counties in Texas, all 50 U.S. States, and several countries across the world. Most of the outreach and engagement in Texas impacts Lubbock and its surrounding counties. Most of the outreach and engagement in the United States impacts the southwest region of the country. Differences in the FY 2009 long version of the OEMI and the FY 2010 short version of the OEMI make it difficult to make any conclusions about comparisons in the data. Differences between responses for FY 2009 and FY 2010 may suggest an increase in funding from “Federal Agencies”, “Local Agencies”, and “Non-Profit Organizations”; a decrease in funding for TTU; an increase in the number of K-12 participants; and an increase in the number of all non-TTU participants. These differences should be interpreted cautiously and are likely due in large part to differences between the surveys and Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 3 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration differences between the samples that selected to respond to each survey. Future administrations of the long version of the OEMI could include some questions regarding participants’ overall outreach and engagement that could then be compared to administrations of the FY 2010 short version of the OEMI. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 4 of 43 Introduction OEMI Report: 2010 Administration The Outreach and Engagement Measurement Instrument (OEMI) is an online survey developed by Michigan State University (MSU). It captures both quantitative and qualitative data about outreach and engagement activities, defined as “professional activities conducted for the direct benefits of audiences external to [the respondent’s] institution” (OEMI Instrument). The OEMI was first used at MSU in 2004 and has been administered there every year since. Other universities that have used or adapted the instrument are the Tennessee System, the University of Kentucky, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, and Kansas State University. Under the leadership of Valerie Paton, Vice Provost for Planning and Assessment, the Office of Planning and Assessment at Texas Tech University administered the OEMI to faculty and staff of the TTU System in November and December 2009. Faculty and staff members from Texas Tech University (TTU), Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC), and Angelo State University (ASU) received an online invitation from TTU Provost, Robert Smith, and multiple reminders until the survey was closed early in 2010. This report summarizes data aggregated from TTU respondents. It does not consider any data received from TTUHSC and ASU respondents. Methodology and Sample In November 2009 a letter by TTU Provost, Robert Smith, was sent out via e-mail to a total of 1,782 TTU faculty and staff members asking for their participation in the OEMI online survey. The letter sought input from individuals regardless of whether they were currently actively involved in outreach and engagement efforts or not. The letter provided a link to the online survey instrument. Additional reminders about the survey went out in December 2009. A copy of the invitation and survey can be found in the Appendix. The online survey instrument was closed in January 2009. Data received from TTU respondents were aggregated and analyzed during the months of February and March while data received from TTUHSC and ASU respondents were provided to those respective institutions for separate tabulation and analysis. 2,323 TTU faculty and staff members were invited to participate in the survey. 377 TTU faculty and staff members (16.2% of those invited to participate) responded to the survey. These respondents were first asked if they participated in any outreach and engagement projects or activities for the period from September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010. The following graph shows a summary of responses to this question. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 5 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Figure 1: Did you participate in any outreach and engagement projects or activities? 151 (40.1%) Yes 226 (59.9%) No 226 of the respondents (59.9% of all respondents) report that they did participate in outreach and engagement projects or activities for the period from September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010. The rest of this report will only include this sample of 226 respondents that report participation in outreach and engagement projects or activities. The following table and graph show a summary of this sample and provide a comparison to the population of all TTU staff and faculty that were invited to participate by college or school.

It appears that the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (12.2% of sample, 9.4% of population) and the College of Visual and Performing Arts (10.3% of sample, 7.3% of population) report more outreach and engagement participation than would be expected. These discrepancies might suggest differences in colleges’ involvement in outreach and engagement projects or activities, or it might represent differences in colleges’ participation in the survey. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 7 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Other responses came from administrative and resource sectors of the university, including the Office of the Provost/Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs (9.7%), International Affairs (5.3%), and the Museum and Heritage Consortium (4.4%).

The large standard deviation and maximum reported value suggest that this average is impacted by a few very high values. This might mean that the median of four projects or activities is a better measure of central tendency. The following graph shows a histogram of participants’ reported total number of outreach and engagement projects or activities. Note the uneven intervals on the horizontal axis.

Area of Concern Participants were also asked to report which areas of concern their outreach and engagment projects or activities addressed. The following table and graph show a summary of responses to this question. The areas of concern are ranked by the number of participants selecting each of the listed areas. Note that the percentages represent the number of participants selecting that area of concern out of the 226 participants that report any outreach and engagement participation. Also note that the percentages do not add up to 100% because participants were instructed to select all that apply. On average, the participants selected 3.4 different areas of concern for their outreach and engagment projects or activites.

Form of Outreach and Engagement Participants were also asked to report which forms ouf outreach and engagment projects or activities they participated in. The following table and graph show a summary of responses to this question. The forms of outreach and engagment are ranked by the number of participants selecting each of the listed forms. Note that the percentages represent the number of participants selecting that form of outreach and engagment out of the 226 participants that report any outreach and engagement participation. Also note that the percentages do not add up to 100% because participants were instructed to select all that apply. On average, the participants selected 1.5 different forms of outreach and engagment.

Funding Regarding funding, participants were first asked to report all of the listed sources of funding that apply for any of their outreach and engagement projects or activities. The following table and graph shows a summary of responses to this question. The sources of funding are ranked by the number of participants selecting each of the listed sources. Note that the percentages represent the number of participants selecting that source of funding out of the 226 participants that report any outreach and engagement participation. Also note that the percentages do not add up to 100% because participants were instructed to select all that apply. On average, the participants selected 1.6 different sources of funding for their outreach and engagment.

Internal university (27.9%) and non-profit organizations (26.1%) are the most commonly reported sources of funding. Federal agencies (16.8%), private business and industry (15.0%), and local agencies (13.3%) are the least commonly reported sources of funding. Participants were asked to report the overall dollar amount of funding generated by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. Of the 226 participants that report participation in outreach and engagement, 121 (53.5%) do not report an overall dollar amount of generated funding. For the participants that do report a dollar amount, the following table gives a summary of responses.

The large standard deviation and maximum reported value suggest that this average is significantly impacted by a few extreme values. This might mean that the median of $21,000 is a better measure of central tendency. The following graph shows a Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 13 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration histogram of participants’ reported dollar amounts of funding generated by outreach and engagement projects or activities.

A large majority of the responses (74 participants, 70.4%) report overall funding of $100,000 or less. Participants were also asked to report the total dollar amount of funding for TTU generated by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. The difference between this question and the previous question is that this question does not include funding that went to outside partners; it only includes funds that remained with TTU. Of the 226 participants that report participation in outreach and engagement, 142 (62.8%) do not report a total dollar amount of funding for TTU. For the participants that do report a dollar amount, the following table gives a summary of participants’ responses.

The most common response is between $1,001 and $5,000 in funding for TTU, with a large majority of the responses (62 participants, 73.8%) reporting $100,000 or less in funding for TTU. Comparing responses regarding overall funding and funding for TTU, 61.4% of the total reported overall funding ($39,265,179) represents funding for TTU and not for other partners ($24,126,595). The median of $21,000 in overall funding per participant is slightly lower than the median of $24,000 in funding for TTU per participant. This difference in medians might seem inconsistent because a participant’s report of funding for TTU should necessarily be less than or equal to their report of overall funding, but note that these medians are computed using only those participants that report a dollar amount for each question respectively. Fewer participants reported funding for TTU than those who reported overall funding, and the participants who reported funding for TTU were more likely to report a slightly larger amount of funding than those participants who reported overall funding and no funding for TTU. There are 14 participants who reported more funding for TTU than overall funding. It seems that these participants did not understand the intended difference between the two questions. Non-TTU Participants and Partners Regarding non-TTU participants and partners in outreach and engagement, the survey participants were first asked to report the estimated number of K-12 students and teacher participants. Of the 226 participants that report any outreach and engagement, 89 (39.4%) do not report an estimated number of K-12 student and teacher participants. For those participants that do report an estimated number of K-12 student and teacher participants, the following table gives a summary of the responses.

Note that the percentages represent the number of participants selecting that type of partnership out of the 226 participants that report any outreach and engagement participation. Also note that the percentages do not add up to 100% because participants were instructed to select all that apply. On average, the participants selected 2.5 different types of partnerships.

Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 19 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Project Service Area Three questions asked participants to identify the Texas counties, U.S. States other than Texas, and/or countries other than the United States that have been or will be impacted by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. The following maps show the number of participants that selected each geographic region (see Appendix B for table summaries of participants’ responses). Figure 12: Number of Participants Reporting an Impact for Each Texas County The map shows that all 254 counties of Texas are involved in the participants’ reported outreach and engagement activity. As expected, Lubbock is the most commonly selected county with 186 respondents (82.3% of those reporting any outreach and engagement activity) reporting outreach and engagement activity in Lubbock County. Most of the other commonly selected counties are on the South Plains and Panhandle Regions. There also appears to be more outreach and engagement in the larger metropolitan areas (e.g., Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio). Every county in Texas is affected by at least six TTU projects based on this sample. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 20 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Figure 13: Number of Participants Reporting an Impact for Each U.S. State other than Texas The map shows that all 50 States are involved in the participants’ reported outreach and engagement activity (note that Alaska and Hawaii are not included on the map, but are included in the table in Appendix B). States in the southwest region (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma) are each impacted by more than 20 projects. No U.S. State is impacted by less than nine projects. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 21 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Figure 14: Number of Participants Reporting an Impact for Countries other than the United States The map shows that participants select several countries across the world that have been or will be impacted by their outreach and engagement activity. Some of the more commonly selected countries include Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 22 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Comparison with FY 2009 OEMI Results In the FY 2009 administration of the OEMI, participants were asked to give details for each individual outreach and engagement project or activity that they reported. In the FY 2010 OEMI, participants were asked about their outreach and engagement activities as a whole. To compare the two administrations, the FY 2009 OEMI results were combined to show us overall outreach and engagement by participant. In comparing the FY 2009 and FY 2010 administration, it is important to note that the FY 2009 OEMI was longer and required participants to report more details for each project, which likely led them to report on fewer outreach and engagement projects or activities. The following tables compare the results of questions that asked participants for similar information from the FY 2009 and FY 2010 administrations of the OEMI. Tables 13 & 14: Summary Statistics for Total Number of Projects Reported in FY 2009 (including duplicates) and FY 2010 Summary Statistics for Total Number of Projects Reported (FY 2009 OEMI) n 446 Sum 994 Mean 2.2 Standard Deviation 3.1 Minimum 1 1st Quartile 1 Median 1 3rd Quartile 2 Maximum 38 Summary Statistics for Total Number of Projects Reported (FY 2010 OEMI) n 226 Sum 5,661 Mean 25.0 Standard Deviation 121.5 Minimum 1 1st Quartile 2 Median 4 3rd Quartile 11 Maximum 1,500 In looking at these two tables, note that the total number of projects reported in FY 2009 may have been limited by the number of projects that participants chose to report specific details for. Also note the much smaller sample size for FY 2010. There is a much larger number of total projects reported in FY 2010, but this includes some participants reporting as many projects or activities as the maximum value of 1,500. This might suggest either a different understanding of what constitutes an outreach and engagement project for the FY 2010 survey compared to the FY 2009 survey or it might suggest an increased willingness by FY 2010 participants to report each separate outreach and engagement project they were involved in. It is not likely that a participant would have reported on 1,500 projects on the FY 2009 longer form of the OEMI due to the time and effort involved. These differences in the surveys may also explain the differences in the mean and median number of projects reported for each year. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 23 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Tables 15 & 16: Summary Statistics for Total Funding Reported in FY 2009 (including duplicates) and FY 2010 Summary Statistics for Total Funding Reported (FY 2009 OEMI) n 178 Sum $73,249,379 Mean $411,513 Standard Deviation $1,298,025 Minimum $12 1st Quartile $2,500 Median $24,500 3rd Quartile $136,250 Maximum $10,001,700 Summary Statistics for Total Funding Reported (FY 2010 OEMI) n 105 Sum $39,265,179 Mean $373,954 Standard Deviation $1,363,808 Minimum $45 1st Quartile $5,000 Median $21,000 3rd Quartile $150,000 Maximum $12,000,000 In looking at these two tables, note that the total funding reported in FY 2009 is limited by the number of projects that participants chose to report specific details for. Also note the much smaller sample size for FY 2010. The total overall funding reported in FY 2010 is 53.6% of the total overall funding reported in FY 2009. This is not surprising considering that the sample size of participants reporting overall funding in FY 2010 is 59.0% of the sample size of participants reporting overall funding in FY 2009. The slightly lower mean and median in FY 2010 might suggest less outreach and engagement funding or it might reflect differences in the surveys or in the samples that selected to respond to the surveys. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 24 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Tables 17 & 18: Number and Percent of Participants Reporting Each Funding Source in FY 2009 (including duplicates) and FY 2010 Number and Percent of Participants Reporting Each Source of Funding (FY 2009 OEMI) Source of Funding n % Event/Activity Fee 73 15.1% Federal Agencies 46 7.1% Internal University 138 22.8% Local Agencies 15 3.2% Non-Profit Organizations 50 11.0% Private Business & Industry 46 11.4% Private Foundations 61 17.1% State Agencies 55 18.6% Not Applicable 241 59.8% Number and Percent of Participants Reporting Each Source of Funding (FY 2010 OEMI) Source of Funding n % Event/Activity Fee 45 19.9% Federal Agencies 38 16.8% Internal University 63 27.9% Local Agencies 30 13.3% Non-Profit Organizations 59 26.1% Private Business & Industry 34 15.0% Private Foundations 43 19.0% State Agencies 45 19.9% Not Applicable 68 30.1% In looking at these two tables, note that participants could select more than one source of funding. Also note that the sources of funding reported in FY 2009 are limited by the number of projects that participants chose to report specific details for. The percent of participants selecting each source of funding is higher in FY 2010 than in FY 2009. This is expected given the differences between the two surveys. Note, though, that the increase in percentage of participants reporting each source of funding between FY 2009 and FY 2010 seems to be larger for “Federal Agencies”, “Local Agencies”, and “NonProfit Organizations”. This might suggest an actual increase in funding from these sources. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 25 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Tables 19 & 20: Summary Statistics for Total Funding for TTU Reported in FY 2009 (including duplicates) and FY 2010 Summary Statistics for Total Funding for TTU Reported (FY 2009 OEMI) n Sum Mean Standard Deviation Minimum 1st Quartile Median 3rd Quartile Maximum 93 $45,042,357 $484,326 $1,342,775 $100 $5,250 $35,000 $186,000 $8,460,000 Summary Statistics for Total Funding for TTU Reported (FY 2010 OEMI) n Sum Mean Standard Deviation Minimum 1st Quartile Median 3rd Quartile Maximum 84 $24,126,595 $287,221 $1,335,656 $1 $5,000 $24,000 $110,127 $12,000,000 In looking at these two tables, note that the total funding for TTU reported in FY 2009 is limited by the number of projects that participants chose to report specific details for. The total funding for TTU reported in FY 2010 is only 53.5% of the total funding for TTU reported in FY 2009. This change might reflect differences in the surveys, differences in the samples, or an actual decrease in funding for TTU. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 26 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Tables 21 & 22: Summary Statistics for Number of K-12 Participants Reported in FY 2009 (including duplicates) and FY 2010 Summary Statistics for Number of K-12 Student and Teacher Participants Reported (FY 2009 OEMI) n 127 Sum 120,274 Mean 947 Standard Deviation 2,059 Minimum 1 1st Quartile 31 Median 140 3rd Quartile 637 Maximum 12,086 Summary Statistics for Number of K-12 Student and Teacher Participants Reported (FY 2010 OEMI) n 137 Sum 194,905 Mean 1,423 Standard Deviation 6,375 Minimum 1 1st Quartile 25 Median 100 3rd Quartile 400 Maximum 70,972 In looking at these two tables, note that the number of K-12 students reported in FY 2009 is limited by the number of projects that participants chose to report specific details for. The total number of K-12 participants reported in FY 2009 is 61.7% of the total number of K-12 participants reported in FY 2010, but the median number of K-12 participants is higher for FY 2009. It appears that the increase in reported K-12 participants is largely due to a few very large numbers reported by participants in FY 2010 (e.g., one respondent reported the maximum value of 70,972 K-12 participants). Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 27 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Tables 23 & 24: Summary Statistics for Number of Non-TTU Participants Reported in FY 2009 (including duplicates) and FY 2010 Summary Statistics for Number of Non-TTU Participants Reported (FY 2009 OEMI) n 272 Sum 209,595 Mean 771 Standard Deviation 2,161 Minimum 1 1st Quartile 18 Median 80 3rd Quartile 429 Maximum 20,006 Summary Statistics for Number of Non-TTU Participants Reported (FY 2010 OEMI) n 182 Sum 245,805 Mean 1,351 Standard Deviation 5,666 Minimum 1 1st Quartile 40 Median 125 3rd Quartile 500 Maximum 70,972 In looking at these two tables, note that the number of non-TTU participants reported in FY 2009 is limited by the number of projects that participants chose to report specific details for. Also note the smaller sample size for FY 2010. The total number of non-TTU participants reported in FY 2009 is 85.3% of the total number of non-TTU participants reported in FY 2010. Similar to the differences in reported number of K-12 participants, it appears that the differences in total number of non-TTU participants reported is largely influenced by a few very large values. Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 28 of 43 Conclusion OEMI Report: 2010 Administration Most of the respondents (59.9%) report that they did participate in outreach and engagement projects or activities for the period from September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010. These respondents report a total number of 5,661 outreach and engagement projects or activities and a median of four projects per respondent. The median number of four reported outreach and engagement projects or activities is a good estimate for what might be expected for the average TTU faculty or staff member who is involved in outreach and engagement. The most commonly addressed areas of concern are: 1) Education, Prekindergarten through 12th Grade; 2) Children, Youth, and Family; and 3) Public Understanding and Adult Learning. The most commonly reported forms of outreach and engagement are: 1) Service on Boards, Committees, and Commissions; 2) Technical or Expert Assistance; 3) Engaged Research and Creative Activity; and 4) Engaged Instruction: Public Events and Understanding. The most commonly reported sources of funding are: 1) Internal University and 2) Non-Profit Organizations (if not reflected by other categories). 46.4% of the respondents report a total dollar amount of funding generated overall by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of $39,265,179 in overall funding and a median of $21,000 in overall funding per respondent. The median dollar amount of $21,000 in overall funding reported is a better estimate than the mean for what might be expected for the average TTU faculty or staff member who is involved in any outreach and engagement with funding. 37.2% of the respondents also report a dollar amount of funding generated for TTU by their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of $24,126,595 in funding for TTU and a median of $24,000 in funding for TTU per respondent. The median dollar amount of $24,000 in funding for TTU is a better estimate than the mean for what might be expected for the average TTU faculty or staff member who is involved in any outreach and engagement with funding for TTU. 60.6% of the respondents report that K-12 student and teacher participants were involved in their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of 194,905 K-12 participants and a median of 100 K-12 participants per respondent. The median number of 100 K-12 participants is a better estimate than the mean for what might be expected for the average TTU faculty or staff member who is involved in outreach and engagement with K-12 participants. 80.5% of the respondents report that non-TTU participants were involved in their outreach and engagement projects or activities. These respondents report a total of 245,805 non-TTU participants and a median of 125 non-TTU participants per respondent. The median number of 125 non-TTU participants is a better estimate than the mean for what might be expected for the average TTU faculty or staff member who is involved in outreach and engagement with non-TTU participants. The most commonly reported partnerships for the respondents’ outreach and engagement are “Non-profit organizations” and “K-12 Schools”. Participants report outreach and engagement that has had or will have an impact on all 254 counties in Texas, all 50 U.S. States, and several countries across the world. Most of the outreach and engagement in Texas impacts Lubbock and its surrounding counties. There is also more outreach and engagement Office of Planning and Assessment, February 2011 Page 29 of 43 OEMI Report: 2010 Administration that impacts the larger metropolitan areas of Texas (e.g., Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio). Most of the outreach and engagement in the United States impacts the southwest region of the country. Differences in the format (including types and number of questions) of the FY 2009 long version of the OEMI and the FY 2010 short version of the OEMI make it difficult to draw specific conclusions from the data comparisons. Differences between responses for FY 2009 and FY 2010 may suggest an increase in funding from “Federal Agencies”, “Local Agencies”, and “Non-Profit Organizations” from FY 2009 to FY 2010; a decrease in funding for TTU compared to the overall funding that a specific project or activity received from FY 2009 to FY 2010; an increase in the number of K-12 participants from FY 2009 to FY 2010; and an increase in the number of all non-TTU participants from FY 2009 to FY 2010. These differences should be interpreted cautiously and are likely due in large part to differences between the surveys and differences between the numbers of participants that elected to respond to each survey. A larger and more consistent sample of TTU faculty and staff populations in the future would, most likely, increase the reliability and validity of the data obtained and more closely reflect the actual amount of outreach and engagement projects and activities being conducted at TTU during a given fiscal year.
