Executive Summary
The Outreach and Engagement Measurement Instrument (OEMI) is an online survey developed by
Michigan State University in 2003 for the purpose of increasing public understanding of a university’s
outreach and engagement efforts. In 2010, Texas Tech University adopted a new Strategic Plan, Making
it possible…; Priority 4 of the plan proposed to Further Outreach and Engagement. The OEMI was
selected as a method to provide benchmark information on the outreach and engagement activity at
Texas Tech. The OEMI utilizes the following definition of outreach and engagement: “professional
activities conducted for the direct benefits of audiences external to *the respondent’s+ institution.”
Working together, representatives of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC),
Angelo State University (ASU) and Texas Tech University (TTU) refined the OEMI to meet the needs of a
multi-institutional administration. Under the leadership of Valerie Paton, Vice Provost for Planning and
Assessment, the Office of Planning and Assessment at Texas Tech University administered a modified
version of the OEMI to faculty and professional staff of the TTU System in November and December of
2009. Faculty and staff members from TTU, TTUHSC, and ASU received an online invitation to complete
the survey from TTU Provost Robert Smith as well as multiple reminders until the survey was closed in
early 2010. This report summarizes the responses received from the TTU community (TTUHSC and ASU
agreed to conduct their own analyses of data received from their respective campus communities).
Analysis of data reported by TTU faculty and professional staff reveals the following:
 In Texas Tech’s OEMI administration, a total of 446 participants reported on 994 outreach and
engagement projects or activities. The Office of Planning and Assessment identified duplicated
projects, summarized responses where appropriate, and found that survey respondents
provided complementary accounts of 903 distinct outreach and engagement projects. The TTU
Colleges with the most respondents were Arts and Sciences (23.2%), Visual and Performing Arts
(21.2%), and Human Sciences (9.5%).
 Texas Tech’s outreach and engagement projects reported in response to the survey included
more than 107,000 K-12 student participants, 10,400 K-12 teachers, 3,600 community college
students and faculty members, 7,000 non-TTU university students and faculty members, and
68,500 other participants. Although these contacts include participants who are counted more
than once for different projects, the scale of the participation in TTU outreach and engagement
activities is remarkable.
 More than half of the reported projects and activities were concerned with commitment to
partnerships with PreK-12 schools, teachers and students; and engagement with communities
and families.
 More than 53% of the reported projects significantly or primarily focused on promoting
diversity. As a central component of Texas Tech’s Mission Statement and Statement on Ethical
Principles, the OEMI survey results suggest that faculty and staff members are translating
institutional core values into their teaching, research, and service activities.
 Respondents classified the forms ofoutreach and engagement their projects took: 21.5% of the
projects were classified as Engaged Research and Creative Activity; 19.2% as Engaged

Instruction: Public Events and Understanding; 17.8% as Technical or Expert Assistance; 15.2% as
Service on Boards, Committees, and Commisssions; and 15% as Engaged Instruction: Non-Credit
Classes and Programs.
Nearly 80% of all reported projects and activities occurred at individual or unit levels, with
participants working either independently, in small teams, or across departments. Current
outreach and engagement activity appears to be focused on collaborations within the TTU
community and with individual non-TTU System faculty and staff members.
The revenue generated from reported outreach and engagement activities is presented
cautiously in this report due to some survey limitations (see Limitations at the end of the
report). Respondents reported revenue generation of more than $43 million. Small project
revenues below $10,000 accounted for 44% of all revenue-generating activities, whereas the
highest revenues of more than $1 million accounted for 7.2% of activities that reported financial
data.
The three most common funding sources were university funds, activity fees, and foundation
grants. However, nearly four times as much funding came from federal agencies, state agencies,
and non-profit organization grants, sources that were accessed much less often. Future
outreach and engagement program leaders may consider diversified funding strategies based on
these data.
The most common types of outcomes or impacts described were education, training,
consultation, and creating awareness. Much less common outcomes were research or other
scholarly outputs that assessed or described respondents’ activity.
More than 57% of the reported projects had affected the respondents’ teaching, professional
work, or research, or had some other personal impact on them.
The most common assessment methods for these projects were a combination of formative
and summative evaluation.
Overall, the 2009 administration of the OEMI was helpful in establishing benchmarks on outreach and
engagement activity led by Texas Tech faculty and staff. Respondents offered both technical and
substantive suggestions for revising the OEMI instrument for future administration. Data gained and
comments received will be utilized by the Strategic Planning Council’s Committee on Engagement and
Outreach to guide Texas Tech’s strategic initiatives under Priority 4: Further Outreach and Engagement.

Introduction
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 institutional
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 Texas Tech University System (TTUS) 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 professional 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 . 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 2010. Data received
from TTU respondents were aggregated and analyzed during the months of February and March 2010
while data received from TTUHSC and ASU respondents were provided to those respective institutions
for separate tabulation and analyses.
A total of 446 TTU participants (25% of the total sample) reported on 994 outreach and engagement
projects or activities. Analysis of their submissions showed that several participants had collaborated on
the same projects. The Office of Planning and Assessment identified duplicated projects and
summarized responses where appropriate. Survey respondents provided complementary accounts of
903 distinct outreach and engagement projects. Whereas some respondents described community
service and volunteer activities they did on their own time, most described institutional efforts ranging
from K-12 partnerships to lifelong learning, to Architecture community design center, to engaged
research.

The Colleges with the most survey respondents were Arts and Sciences (23.2%), Visual and Performing
Arts (21.2%) and Human Sciences (9.5%). The percentage of responses from Arts and Sciences was
unsurprising because it is the largest academic College in terms of student enrollment as well as faculty
head count.1 The three next largest Colleges in terms of enrollments are Engineering, Business, and
Human Sciences. The College of Visual and Performing Arts is one of the smallest Colleges; however, it
reported much more outreach and engagement activity than might be expected given the size of its
student population. This could be due to the fact that faculty and staff associated with the College of
Visual and Performing Arts are more involved in outreach and engagement activities or responded to
the survey invitation in greater numbers than faculty and staff from other TTU Colleges. The lowest
percentages of responses came from the Honors College (0.3%), the Graduate School (0.6%), the
University College (2.3%) and Architecture (3.2%). These Colleges are among the university’s smallest
academic colleges according to student enrollment figures and faculty head count.

Results
Initial survey questions prompted respondents to classify each of the projects they reported. These
questions asked respondents to identify one area of concern, one form of outreach and engagement,
and up to four additional concerns that their project addressed. They also established whether projects
were collaborative and the number of years the project had been active.
Area of Concern
For each reported outreach and engagement project, respondents were asked to identify an area of
concern. Figure 2, Area of Concern, summarizes the distribution of these responses according to predetermined categories.

Figure 2: Area of Concern
Some of the reported projects showed multiple areas of concern. This could be due to the fact that
some participants selected more than one area of concern for their projects or multiple participants
reporting on the same project each selected different areas of concern for that particular project. There
were a total of 20 projects that addressed multiple areas of concern. In Table 4, these projects are not
included in specific categories but, instead, shown as Multiple. Non-responses are all tabulated under
the category Blank.

As Figure 2 and Table 4 show, projects that addressed PreK-12 education; cultural institutions and
programs; and children, youth, and family accounted for 56.7% of all reported TTU faculty and staff
outreach and engagement activity. Remaining projects addressed areas from Public Understanding and
Adult Learning (8.6%) to Health and Health Care (4.3%) and Public Safety, Security, and Corrections
(0.9%).
Form of Outreach and Engagement
Survey respondents also classified their projects by selecting one form of outreach and engagement per
project. Again, some of the projects had multiple forms of outreach and engagement because the
participant selected more than one form of outreach and engagement for their project or because
participants reporting on the same project selected different forms of outreach and engagement. Table
5 shows that there were 20 projects with multiple forms of outreach and engagement. These projects
are not included in the individual form of outreach and engagement categories but shown as Multiple.

and Institutional, the project was reclassified as Multi-Institutional. When respondents classified their
project as both Institutional and Individual, the project was reclassified as Institutional. This
reclassification eliminated duplicate responses and also focused the data on outreach and engagement
activity across departments, programs, Colleges, and TTU System institutions. Non-responses to this
question were marked Blank and are numerated in Table 7.

Both Figure 5 and Table 7 show that 39.9% of the university’s reported outreach and engagement
projects are led by individual faculty and staff members, and 39.3% of the projects are reported to be an
institutional initiative. A total of 20.8% of outreach and engagement initiatives reported in this survey
are multi-institutional, either within the TTU System or with other institutions. Given increasing interest
in multi-institutional projects from federal granting agencies such as the National Sciences Foundation,
Texas Tech could benefit from engaging in more partnerships with TTU System institutions and other
State and national institutions.
Project Duration
In addition to describing the features of their projects, survey participants provided data about the
beginning and ending dates of their activities, and indicated whether their contributions were singleyear activities, multi-year projects, or ongoing projects. Although the respondents were directed to
report outreach and engagement activities conducted between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009,
some reported projects spanned several years beyond this timeframe.

Figure 6 and Table 8 above show the distribution of reported projects with start dates from 1921 to
2010. For projects described by more than one participant, the earliest reported years were used for
start dates and the latest years were used for end dates. The projects that began during the University’s
early years included an Independent Study by Correspondence program, a Student Activities
Conference, the One Act Play Director’s Workshop, Band and Orchestra Camps, University
Interscholastic League Competitions, Cross Country Meets, and the LISD Red Raider Golf Invitational.
All of these projects were reported as still going on today.
For more than half of all projects, respondents did not provide a start date (N = 547). Of those projects
that included a start date, 48.3% were initiated between 2006 and2010. 21.6% of the reported projects
had been active for five to ten years.

More than half of all projects were not reported with an end date. Of those projects that did indicate an
end date, 50.9% ended or were projected to end between 2006 and 2010. Together, these sets of data
indicate that about half of the reported outreach and engagement projects were initiated and
terminated during a five-year period.

Survey respondents also indicated whether their project was a one-time activity, a multi-year project, or
an ongoing project. Multiple responses for projects were consolidated. Because these categories were
not defined in the survey, respondents may have been uncertain of the difference between ongoing and
multi-year.

Respondents failed to report project length data for about 24% of all projects. Less than 25% of projects
were classified as Multi-year (22.4%). When considering these data, it is recommended that faculty and
staff increase the number of multi-year projects for sustainable impact. Large grant-making agencies
such as the National Science Foundation fund multi-year projects and also encourage multidisciplinary
programming.
Project Service Area
Three questions asked respondents to identify Texas counties, U.S. states, and/or other countries that
were served by their outreach and engagement activities. Respondents indicated the geographic
locations of institutions and individuals that were impacted by their outreach and engagement activities.

Table 11: Texas Counties Identified in OEMI activities
There are 254 counties in Texas. Of the 903 reported projects, respondents indicated that 193 projects
(21.4%) benefited all Texas counties. The map below excludes the 193 all-county projects and displays
unique outreach and engagement partnerships per county. It shows that, in addition to the all-county
projects, 209 projects (23.1%) were located in Lubbock County. Further, TTU faculty and staff engaged in
21 to 40 outreach and engagement partnerships in each of the counties immediately surrounding

Lubbock: Lamb, Hale, Floyd, Hockley, Crosby, Terry, Lynn, and Garza. Between 11 and 20 other
partnerships were located in counties from Gaines and Borden to Dallam, Hartley, and Potter. Between
1 and 10 additional partnerships per county were reported in regions across the state, including Far
West Texas (from El Paso to Terrell), eastern counties such as Harris (Houston), Travis (Austin), and
Dallas, and Hidalgo County on the south border. As the county map below shows, TTU faculty and staff
reported significant outreach and engagement partnerships on the South Plains and Panhandle regions,
and broadly distributed partnerships across the far west, central, and east regions of Texas. When
considered from a geographical perspective, TTU faculty and staff engage in partnership activities in a
region that is larger than several states combined, often more than six hours drive time from Lubbock.

Of the 903 reported projects, 241 occurred in or were focused on the State of Texas (Table 12).
Although respondents were asked to report outreach and engagement activities in other states, no outof-state activities were reported in this section of the survey. However, another data set gathered in
response to a question regarding specific partnerships with other institutions revealed that TTU faculty
and staff were involved in outreach and engagement activities that included partners from 30 different
states. See Section on “Participant Classification,” pages 27 and 28, for details.
The responses regarding outreach and engagement activities in other countries (Table 13) provided the
following information: four projects were reported as serving all listed countries. After the United
States (21 projects), the six most common audiences were located in Canada (20), the United Kingdom
(17), Germany (15), and Italy (11), Spain (11), and China (11). Texas Tech has institutional partnerships in
several of the listed countries, and all inhabited continents are represented in current or recent faculty
and staff outreach and engagement. Not all respondents answered this question; therefore, projects
may serve an even larger range of countries than reported here.

Project Revenue Generated
One question asked project directors, PIs, Co-PIs, and Co-directors to indicate the total revenue
generated as a result of their outreach and engagement activities. As Tables 14 and 15 document, for
382 of the 903 reported projects, respondents left this question blank. Not all of the respondents were
project administrators, though, and it may be possible that they did not have knowledge of or access to
financial data for the projects that they reported.

Of 521 projects reported with responses to this question, only 125 projects (24%) generated revenue.
Together, these 125 projects generated more than $43 million. The median project revenue was
$30,000 and the largest reported amount generated by an individual outreach and engagement activity
was $6,200,000. Small project revenues below $10,000 accounted for 44% of all revenue-generating
activities, whereas the highest revenues of more than $1 million accounted for 7.2%. Figure 9, Project
Revenues, visually presents these variations in the reported group of projects (see Table 15 for the raw

Sources of Funding
Data from participants who reported their funding sources indicate that TTU faculty and staff use a
range of funding sources to support their outreach and engagement activities. For respondents, funding
sources included internal university funds; industry; foundations; federal, state, and local agencies; nonprofit organizations; fees charged for the activity or event; and other unlisted sources. Respondents who
used other sources were not asked to indicate what those sources were.

Table 16 shows that the three most common funding sources were internal or university funds, activity
fees, and foundation grants. Although these sources were the most frequently used, the highest
amounts of funding came from different sources: federal agencies, state agencies, and non-profit
organization grants.

A follow-up question sought to clarify whether survey respondents charged a fee for their program. For
143 of the reported projects, respondents did not provide an answer to the question. Of the 760projects
that included an answer, 188 (24.7%) charged a fee (Table 17).
Participant Classifications
A series of nine questions asked respondents to identify the affiliations of the people who participated
in their outreach and engagement activities. Options included undergraduate and graduate students,

faculty, and staff members from all three TTU System institutions, ASU, TTU, and TTUHSC. Respondents
also had the option to indicate participation from other institutions. (Note: The numbers in Table 18 do
not include participants from projects that were reported by TTUHSC or ASU faculty and staff members.
They reflect only participants in projects reported by TTU faculty and staff members.)

As Table 18 shows, most projects reported by Texas Tech respondents were associated with TTU faculty,
staff, graduates, and undergraduates, or with undergraduates and faculty members from other
institutions. Current outreach and engagement activity appears to focus on collaborations within TTU
and institutional collaborations such as Texas community colleges and universities. Much less
collaboration seems to occur with TTU System member institutions, in particular with ASU. However,
ASU only joined the TTU System of universities at the end of 2007 when most reported projects had

Table 19 shows that reported outreach and engagement activities involved an average of 149 TTU
undergraduate students and 10 faculty members per project. Overall, 207 projects involved 30,770 TTU
undergraduate students as participants. Even though these sums may include participants counted
multiple times in different projects, the numbers reported indicate a significant impact on TTU

undergraduates. In addition, 5,753 participants from other institutions were involved in these outreach
and engagement projects reported by TTU staff and faculty, an average of 30 per project.
Collaborations with TTU System member institutions involved a total of 1,246 TTUHSC participants and
24 ASU participants.
Two other questions were designed to obtain more information about the types and numbers of nonTTU System participants. Responses show that K-12 schools, students, and teachers most commonly
participated in outreach and engagement activities conducted by TTU faculty and staff members (see
Table 20 and Table 21). Texas Tech’s large K-12 enrichment programs may partially account for this
result. One-third of the projects involved collaborations with other universities, and less than 10%
involved collaborations with community colleges.

Respondents were given the option to provide names of the particular schools, colleges, or universities
that were involved in their projects. In terms of K-12 school involvement, responses revealed that TTU
faculty and staff predominantly focused on schools in the South Plains region. Smaller districts in the
region accounted for 10% of the project participants. These included Crosbyton, Dalhart, Idalou,
Lamesa, Levelland, Littlefield, Lockney, New Deal, O’Donnell, Petersburg, Ralls, Roosevelt, Seminole,
Slaton, Sudan, Tahoka, and Tulia. The projects typically involved several of districts at the same time.
One specific project involved a total of 22 districts as well as various home school participants
simultaneously. The highest number of collaborations occurred with the Lubbock Independent School
District followed by Frenship ISD.
Although very few activities involved school districts outside of the South Plains region, the geographical
scale of the partnerships is notable. Projects were reported with school districts in the DFW Metroplex
(Allen, Keller, Plano and McKinney), the Houston area (Houston, Spring, Katy), Eastern New Mexico
(Artesia, Dexter, Hagerman, Lovington, Roswell), the Texas Panhandle (Amarillo ISD), and Abilene
(Abilene ISD). The majority of all projects involved high schools, followed by middle schools and to a
smaller extent, elementary schools.
In addition to K-12 partnerships, many collaborations were reported with community colleges.
According to the survey results, TTU faculty and staff partnered with the following Texas community
colleges: Amarillo College, Austin Community College, Central Texas College, Cisco College, El Centro
College, El Paso Community College, Hill College, Howard College, South Plains College, Midland/Odessa
Community College, Texas State Technical College, Trinity Valley Richland College, and Western Texas
College. Community college collaborations outside of Texas included Clovis Community College,
Comanche Nation College, Kansas City Community College, and Tulsa Community College. The most
reported community college partner was the South Plains College.
Further outreach and engagement projects involved two Texas university systems - the University of
Texas System and the Texas A&M University System. Of those respondents who provided the names of
their external university partners, 40% listed the University of Texas and Texas A&M. Involvement
appeared equally spread among the flagship institutions and their systems’ member institutions which
included West Texas A&M, Prairie View A&M, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Texas A& M Kingsville, Texas
A&M – AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M Commerce, UT Dallas, UT Pan American, UT Permian Basin, UT
Tyler, UT El Paso, UT Medical Branch, UT San Antonio, UT Southwestern, and UT Arlington. Other
collaborations with major universities in Texas involved both public and private institutions such as
Baylor University, Southern Methodist University, the University of North Texas, the University of
Houston, and Rice University. In addition to these, TTU respondents documented partnerships with
Stephen F. Austin University, Tarleton State, and Midwestern State. In terms of private institutions, TTU
faculty and staff engaged with Abilene Christian University, Hardin Simmons University, and McMurry
University. Texas Tech at Abilene may have helped to facilitate the partnerships with these private
regional institutions. The highest number of reported partnerships with private institutions were those
with Lubbock Christian University and Wayland Baptist University.

The most common form of assessment described was a summative participant survey or written
evaluation (e.g., “A short evaluation was taken at the end of the event to look for ways to improve.”).
Other common forms of assessment included participant reflections or comments (e.g., “We often get
letters and cards signed by the schools' students describing how much they enjoy the programs that we
present. Teachers give us positive feedback and ask us back every year.”); outside evaluators or
organizations (“…reviewed by the State of Texas every two years.”); and critical reviews by a peer,
teacher, or judge (e.g., “Teachers provided written and verbal feedback on the presentation.”).
Outcomes
Previous survey questions asked about revenue generation from each project; another group of
questions asked about intellectual and other outcomes.
Respondents provided 806 comments to describe the outcomes and impacts of their project or activity.
Each comment referenced at least one of the following topics: a. what type of outcome or impact did
the project have; b. who was impacted by the project; and c. Where did this project have an impact?

The most common feedback theme (N = 18) was Relevance, expressing that the survey did not fit the
participant’s type of outreach and engagement activities. One respondent said that the instrument
“does not seem relevant to what I do.” Another noted that the survey questions “almost require that
the outreach be specifically pedagogical in nature,” and still another stated that “some, if not much, of
the outreach value provided by the faculty at the professional schools may be under-counted as a result
of the questions being geared towards other types of activities.”
The second group of comments, Length, reflected the survey’s length or how long it took to complete
the survey. One respondent suggested that the survey could be abbreviated without undermining the
content because it was a web form. Another recommended streamlining it further for TTU needs. Eleven
comments addressed this theme. A third theme, Difficulty, included comments such as “It was hard to
figure out how some of the questions applied but I tried my best.” Some respondents (N = 5) had
difficulty with the “form and submittal process,” survey instructions, or how to categorize their

activities. A fourth theme, Organization, included comments stating that the survey was well written or
organized (e.g., “This was a well designed survey.”).
Six comments expressed some gratitude for the survey, or that the participant appreciated being asked
about their outreach and engagement work (e.g., “Thanks for the opportunity to report these 'underrepresented' activities!”). Other participants (N = 14) had specific suggestions for the survey (e.g., “Can
this report be populated using data from Digital Measures in order to eliminate time-consuming
duplication of reporting efforts?”), and pointed out questions that could be revised to help them provide
more accurate responses (e.g., “Item 9 needs a ”don't know’ button,” and “Having a SAVE button at
every section would help to make sure that information is not lost if a key is inadvertently hit.”).
The last major theme, Response Clarifications, included project-specific feedback such as, “I am unsure
about the start date of UIL competitions, and I merely included an end date of 2020 to satisfy the
demands of the survey. I am doing the best I can under circumstances of limited knowledge in some
areas. I would be happy to respond to any inquiries if you have need for more information after
reviewing this data.”
Overall, all comments offered both substantive and technical feedback that could be used to refine the
OEMI instrument if it is administered again.
Example Outreach & Engagement Activities
Survey respondents provided accounts of 903 distinct projects with a broad range of audiences,
subjects, designs, and outcomes. The following outreach and engagement projects illustrate the wealth
and breadth of activities that TTU faculty and staff members have participated in recently.
1. The Get Excited About Robotics Competition
Get Excited About Robotics (GEAR) was a 6-week LEGO robotics competition that helped to introduce
elementary and middle school students to the engineering design process.2 Through this hands-on
competition, participants learned “problem solving, teamwork, math and science skills.” At TTU, GEAR
has been a cooperative effort involving the Department of Physics, the TTU T-STEM Center, and the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Respondents indicated that electrical and
computer engineering enrollment is declining and female students are particularly underrepresented in
the field of engineering. GEAR has been one program that helps educate students about the engineering
profession as a potential career. Last year, TTU faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students
were involved in organizing the competition for over 200 elementary and middle school participants
from Lubbock and the surrounding area. The project was reported as generating $50,000 in revenue.

2. Public Education in Vietnam Archive Tours
Started by a group of Vietnam veterans from West Texas in 1989, the Vietnam Center and Archive
collects and preserves records and promotes research related to the Vietnam War.3 Vietnam Center
faculty and staff members reported tours of the collection that they gave to “veterans, members of the
general public, and students attending at-risk educational programs.” These tours educated participants
about “principles and practices of archiving, holdings of the archive (including items of special interest),
issues relating to the veteran community, and ways in which the Vietnam Archive affects contemporary
society.” One respondent reported that as a result of these tours, “many people are able to see our
facility and gain an understanding of what our mission is and what we do here. It also generates interest
in our materials for research and helps people to decide to donate materials to the collection.” Another
respondent reported that “during tours, veterans often share experiences and knowledge which
furthers my own understanding of the war and the people who participated in it. Often these anecdotes
provide greater understanding of historically important events.” The Archive Tours have been just one
way that the Vietnam Center has helped educate regional and national visitors about its mission. Several
other events and national conferences also promote the Vietnam Center and Archive and connect the
university to the wider community.
3. Addiction Recovery with the Ranch at Dove Tree
In 2006, the Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery (CSAR) at Texas Tech University “entered
into a partnership for recovery with the Ranch at Dove Tree. The primary goal of this partnership is to
use the knowledge and expertise of the CSAR to increase the accessibility and improve the effectiveness
of treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction in the Southwest region of Texas and ultimately, the
state and nation. This partnership led to the development of “multiple curriculums based on
developmentally appropriate interventions for addicted individuals and their families. These include a
new family therapy model based in principles of sustained recovery from addiction and an entire
residential program developed specifically for the 18-25 demographic.” Respondents further described
several clinical practicum opportunities for Texas Tech students, including clinical and counseling
psychology, social work, and educational psychology students. The CSAR outreach and engagement
program puts TTU students and faculty members in service to a vulnerable population, and through
individual contact with addicts and their family helps to personalize the university’s community service.
Respondents reported $1 million in revenue for this project.
4. Ogallala Commons*
Ogallala Commons was established in 1999 to help reinvigorate rural communities in the High Plains
region. The project serves as a collaborative resource network that provides educational opportunities
and promotes local arts, culture, and history for rural communities in parts of Colorado, Kansas,
Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. One TTU participant reports
that they have supported Ogallala Commons by “serving on the board,” “*speaking+ at seminars and
workshops”, “*creating+ a program for high school students to conduct oral histories in their

communities”, and “*helping+ oversee the development of a joint conference between Ogallala
Commons and the University.” Another TTU participant reports that they have supported Ogallala
Commons by providing free legal services for the organization. (*Information retrieved from the
Ogallala Commons website, http://www.ogallalacommons.org/aboutus.html, on November 11, 2010).
5. Direct Storm Shelter Research and Development
This project began in 1974 with the invention of the concept for an above-ground storm shelter. There
is currently ongoing “research, development, and information dissemination to nurture the invention to
become the focus and product output of an established industry” that will help “reduce the death toll,
suffering, and anxiety caused by tornadoes and hurricanes.” The above-ground storm shelter can also
be used for “protecting critical functions such as emergency response systems and data processing
centers” and for “protecting critical contents such as records, expensive equipment, and heirlooms.”
This project has included contributions of designs and test data for agencies such as the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and has also led to the formation of the National Storm Shelter
Association (NSSA) and industry standards for the design and construction of storm shelters. This
project has had an impact in Bangladesh, India, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Pakistan, and the United States. More
information can be found at www.wind.ttu.edu or at the NSSA website, www.nssa.cc.
6. Professor in the Chinese Academy of Sciences
One faculty participant reports, “I was appointed to a full Professorship in the Chinese Academy of
Sciences in July 2007, to create and lead a research group in Ecological Evolution at the Xishuangbanna
Tropical Botanical Garden, in the far south of Yunnan province, China.” This project has involved taking
an extended leave of absence from the Department of Biological Sciences to “establish an active and
self-sustaining research group on a wide range of topics, primarily focused on the management and
conservation of natural resources in the Southeast Asian tropical rainforests.” Some of the outcomes of
this work have been to “develop tools and resources for the genomic study of tropical biodiversity”, “to
produce top notch graduate students in the Chinese Academy of Sciences”, and “to promote the
sustainable management and conservation of natural resources in Yunnan.” As part of this project, the
participant also organized an advanced field course in ecology and conservation that involved students
from China, USA, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Uganda.
7. Hands-On Science Experiences for Underrepresented Groups
The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) at TTU partnered with the Institute for the
Development and Enrichment of Advanced Learners (IDEAL) at TTU to provide hands-on research
experiences to middle school female students during the one-week camp, Science – It’s a Girl’s Thing.
The program was designed to increase the interest of young girls in Science, and specifically
Environmental Toxicology. Faculty from TIEHH also worked with South Plains College to expose
community college students from underrepresented groups to hands-on science experiences and
increase two-year, four-year transfer rates. One faculty member also held monthly outreach meetings
and organized activities for middle and high school students from rural schools to help increase their
interest and participation in the study of biomedical sciences. The latter activities also resulted in poster
presentations at a variety of meetings.

8. Responding to Child Abuse in the South Plains
The Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the College of Human Sciences has
partnered with various organizations such as the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (Foster Care
and Domestic Violence Committee), the West Texas Association for Infant Mental Health, the Children’s
Home of Lubbock, the South Plains Child Abuse Coalition, and the TTUHSC School of Nursing to provide
education to a cross-range of individuals working with children - from physicians, to mental health
professionals, nursing students, teachers, and foster parents. Programs have taught participants the
knowledge and skills to recognize symptoms of child abuse and trauma in children, and to respond
appropriately. Physicians also received training in the formal screening and assessment of abuse.
9. The Llano River Field Station Outdoor School
The Texas Tech Outdoor School’s mission is to inspire students and teachers to develop a passion and a
sense of ownership and identity towards nature and the watershed in which they live, while building
better classroom environments and generating higher TAKS scores. To do this, the school has designed a
program to provide unique opportunities to use the environment as an integrating context for
interdisciplinary, collaborative, student-centered, hands-on and engaged learning, with a focus on the
sciences and mathematics. In addition to STEM content, students and teachers learn communication
skills, teambuilding skills, character skills, leadership skills, real-world science skills, and environmental
awareness. The program is devoted to creating innovative field-based educational experiences that
immerse learners into authentic, real-world, hands-on activities that stimulate imagination and
understanding of difficult abstract concepts. It’s an extension of the classroom and is not to be mistaken
for a camp. The curriculum taught is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
standards, with common focus and goals, and is individualized to each independent school district and
individual classroom teacher to make sure everyone’s needs are acknowledged and met. Project
partners include a large number of school districts in underserved, rural areas in the Texas Hill Country.
Conclusions
The Fall 2009 administration of the Outreach and Engagement Measurement Instrument provided
extensive descriptive data. These data form the benchmarks for Priority 4: Further Outreach and
Engagement, in Texas Tech’s 2010-2020 Strategic Plan, Making it possible… More than half of the
reported activities and projects focused on PreK-12 education; cultural institutions and programs; or
children, youth, and family. This focus demonstrates the depth of Texas Tech’s faculty, staff, and
institutional commitment to PreK-12 education. The members of the university community partner with
surrounding communities through cultural programming and programs for families. PreK-12 education,
cultural institutions, and families are three areas of concern that are very closely related to higher
education, and it is fitting that TTU faculty and staff members have chosen to focus their outreach and
engagement efforts in this way.

Outreach & Engagement Measurement Instrument (OEMI): 2009 Administration
December 2010
The OEMI data identified the top five forms of outreach and engagement conducted by reporting faculty
and staff as Engaged Research and Creative Activity (21.5%), Engaged Instruction: Public Events and
Understanding (19.2%), Technical or Expert Assistance (17.8%), Service on Boards, Committees, and
Commisssions (15.2%), and Engaged Instruction: Non-Credit Classes and Programs (15.0%). Thus,
respondents used a variety of forms for outreach and engagement in their respective areas. These
results show an alignment between TTU practices and the Community Service and Leadership value in
the TTU Statement of Ethical Principles: “We strive for exemplary professional and community service
through research, creative works, and service programs that extend beyond the university
environment.” With more than 53% of the reported outreach and engagement projects promoting
diversity, the survey results suggest that faculty and staff members are integrating university core values
from the Mission Statement and the Statement of Ethical Principles into their work.
Collaboration emerged as a point of interest in the survey data. Nearly 40% of all reported projects
occurred at individual or departmental levels: people working independently, in small teams, or across
departments. About 60% of the projects were reported at the institutional or multi-institutional level.
Federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the Department of Education increasingly
encourage multidisciplinary and multi-institutional partnerships because they point to projects that
demonstrate greater intellectual merit and have a broader impact on communities. As the university
moves towards achieving Tier One Research University status, it will be important to continue building
multi-institutional collaborations and partnerships around targeted engagement activities.
With regard to geographic areas affected by TTU outreach and engagement, data show that projects
impacted a wide range of areas. TTU faculty and staff had a significant impact on the South Plains and
Panhandle regions, and a moderate impact on the far west, central, and east regions of Texas.
Respondents provided information on partnerships with colleges and universities located in thirty
different states across the United States. Foreign countries impacted by reported projects were located
in every inhabited continent. As might be expected, the most commonly reported countries served were
English-speaking: the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Other engagement projects were
located in Germany, China, and Italy.
Data on revenue generated by reported outreach and engagement activities is presented cautiously due
to the survey limitations described in the next section. Nevertheless, the data gathered includes
information on nearly 60% of the activities reported in response to this survey. Those activities that
reported revenues collectively generated more than $43 million. Small project revenues below $10,000
accounted for 44% of all revenue-generating activities, whereas the highest revenues of more than $1
million accounted for 7.2%. The relatively low percentage of high-revenue-generating activities is
commensurate with the range of funding sources that supported the reported projects. The three most
common funding sources were university funds, activity fees, and foundation grants, but nearly four
times as many dollars came from federal agencies, state agencies, and non-profit organization grants,
sources that were accessed much less often. Future outreach and engagement program designers
should consider expanding their funding strategies based on these data.

Reported projects yielded a range of outcomes. The most common type of outcome or impact described
was education, training, consultation, and creating awareness. Much less common was research or
other scholarly output that assessed or described the respondents’ outreach and engagement activity.
Nevertheless, more than 57% of respondents indicated that their projects had affected their teaching,
professional work, or research, or had some other personal impact on them. The most common
assessment methods for these projects were a combination of formative and summative evaluation.
Participants’ responses to specific survey questions point to some areas where the OEMI instrument
might be revised and improved for future administration. For example, respondents were asked to
classify whether their outreach and engagement project comprised a one-time activity, a multi-year
project, or an ongoing project (Length of Project).The survey instrument did not define or clearly
distinguish ongoing projects from multi-year ones, and consequently respondents may have confused
multi-year projects and ongoing ones. A second iteration of the OEMI should define these categories
clearly to help reduce respondent confusion about terms and categories, and to help respondents to
classify their activities correctly.
Survey feedback further indicates that respondents felt that questions and categories were not broad
enough to include their kinds of outreach and engagement activities. Some participants suggested that
questions were focused on teaching and other academic work; one stated that “some, if not much, of
the outreach and engagement value provided by the faculty at the professional schools may be undercounted as a result of the questions being geared towards other types of activities.” Future versions of
the OEMI could be revised in consultation with representative faculty from the main TTU campus and its
professional schools, while continuing to align with OEMI or other nationally accepted definitions of
outreach and engagement. Further suggestions included integrating the OEMI with Digital Measures, an
information management software tool used campus-wide. Populating certain fields with information
already provided in Digital Measures might reduce respondents’ reporting burden and also provide for
more ways to compare and validate subjective responses. Overall, all comments offered both
substantive and technical feedback that could be used to refine the OEMI instrument for future
administrations.
Limitations
While data collected in the 2009 administration of the OEMI is helpful in establishing benchmarks for
Texas Tech, there are some limitations that need to be considered.
The survey was distributed to all faculty and staff but was not mandatory. Therefore, respondents
provided information on their outreach and engagement activity on a wholly voluntary basis. They were
not compensated for responding or for the time it took them to report, and because they were active in
outreach and engagement, they had personal interest in reporting projects they had participated in. As a
result, survey data cannot be said to be statistically representative. It is skewed towards faculty and staff
members who wished to be counted and might not include the outreach and engagement activity by
other TTU faculty and staff members since reporting was voluntary.

Outreach & Engagement Measurement Instrument (OEMI): 2009 Administration
December 2010
The survey was designed to focus specifically on outreach and engagement activities conducted
between September 2008 and August 2009. However, several respondents reported multi-year activities
that either began before 2008 or were projected to end after 2010. This report does, therefore, not
accurately reflect one-year activity span. Further analysis of the 2009 data could parse out specific
activities completed between 2008 and 2009. In addition, because some respondents might have
followed the request for 2008-2009 projects more closely than others, there might be many more
projects before and after those dates that people did not report on. In future surveys, questions should
specify to a larger extent the time span for activities under consideration or left open altogether as
“current.”
Further, as some participants indicated in their feedback commentary, several respondents were activity
volunteers, and not activity planners. Some volunteered to teach a class session, but were not involved
in course design, grant-seeking, or evaluation. The survey instrument did not permit participants to omit
financial or evaluation data even if they were only reporting on their contribution to a larger project.
Consequently, some participants had difficulty providing responses to questions that only program
administrators would have been able to answer. One respondent suggested that volunteer respondents
might be forced to simply “guess” information that the survey required them to provide.
Similarly, some respondents were sector administrators and not project personnel. Administrator
respondents often duplicated accounts of projects ongoing in their respective units, but were not
directly involved in the design or implementation of those projects. Future iterations of the survey may
further refine definitions of Activity and Participation so as to help increase the number of fullyinformed respondents. The type of information that respondents had access to also became an
important issue when it came to specifying dollar-amounts associated with the projects that they
reported in the section Project Revenue Generated. Project PIs may have responded differently from
Co-PI’s, key personnel, or other project participants based on the information that they had. In addition,
the reported amounts were not verified by analysts after the administration of the survey.
Finally, several survey items about features of each project included at least one closed-ended question
and an open-ended question. The closed-ended questions provided a broad picture of the item, while
the open-ended question allowed respondents to provide more specific information or to clarify their
response to the closed-ended question. However, in some cases, participants responded only to one
portion of these questions, or responded to both but provided different data for each.
These limitations notwithstanding, the OEMI survey was the first instrument of its kind distributed
across the TTU System. It provided background and detailed information on 903 unique outreach and
engagement projects that included TTU as well as TTUHSC and ASU faculty and staff participants. As
such, it offers important benchmarks that can guide the refinement of future data collection and set the
stage for future outreach and engagement at Texas Tech University. Furthermore, the OEMI findings
will be utilized by the Strategic Planning Council’s Committee on Engagement and Outreach to guide
Texas Tech’s strategic initiatives under Priority 4: Further Outreach and Engagement.
