The Campus Student Listening Toolkit

What do your students need this year?

Three practical tools to help you hear directly from students as the academic year begins—from a 60-second student pulse to deeper feedback and structured input from student leaders.

A free resource for campus Jewish organizations from Twersky Partners.

You Know Your Students. But Are You Capturing What They're Telling You?

Campus organizations are built on relationships. You talk with students every day, hear their concerns, and see firsthand what draws them in.

But informal conversations don't always reveal the larger patterns. What are students looking for from Jewish life this year? How is the campus climate affecting them? Where do they feel confident—and where do they want more knowledge, connection, or support?

A simple listening tool can help turn individual conversations into information you can use.

Better Listening Can Lead to Better Programming

Student feedback doesn't have to mean a lengthy survey—or hours spent sorting through data.

A quick pulse can identify emerging needs. A deeper survey can uncover patterns in identity, belonging, resilience, and program interests. Structured input from student leaders can capture what they are seeing and hearing across campus.

The goal isn't data for data's sake. It's information that can help you decide what to offer, what to adjust, and where to focus your time and resources.
