GULL Week

Thanks to all that helped make GULL Week Fall 2022 a success!
You help SU continuously improve!

STUDENTS:
Virtual GULL Week participants, that completed their required assessments and have not yet picked up their t-shirt, that are near either the SU Main Campus or one of the five Maryland SU Regional Locations (Cecil College; ESHEC; USG; USMH; or USMSM) are still able to pick up their t-shirts, based upon their survey request location (while supplies last). If you are not sure if you selected the proper t-shirt size or pick-up location, then please email GULLweek@salisbury.edu. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship t-shirts to virtual GULL Week participants beyond those locations.

See below for general details for pick-up for virtual participants:
- SU Main Campus:
  - WHEN: Mondays-Thursdays, during business hours, as staff are available, starting Tuesday (9/27) morning – through at least Thursday, 9/29
  - WHERE: at the University Analysis, Reporting & Assessment house; 1214 Camden Avenue (across Camden Avenue from The Commons Dining Hall). Note: If the house is locked, then staff are not available. If that is the case, then please try back another time.
- Five Maryland Regional Locations (Cecil College; ESHEC; USG; USMH; or USMSM) - TBD. The date, time, and building & room location details for the virtual pick-up at the Regional Locations will vary, but should occur before the end of this semester. We will send you an email letting you know when they have arrived at the location as well as details for when, where, and from whom you can pick up your t-shirt.

About GULL Week

Gaining Understanding as a Lifelong Learner (GULL) Week occurs in the early part of fall semesters. During GULL Week undergraduate students participate in assessments. The information gathered during GULL Week will be used by SU to demonstrate skills and knowledge that SU students develop and to improve the General Education program. Your participation is needed and important to the University!

Please visit the General Education Outcome Assessment Reports website to see results and reports from previous GULL Week assessments.
Why students participate
Every student matters! Your participation can help us:
- know where you are in terms of skills and knowledge
- know about your opinions, behaviors, and general feedback
- identify what we are doing well and where we can focus on improving
- inform revision of our GenEd curriculum
- inform revision of your major's curriculum
- continuously improve students' experience at SU
The more the merrier! Low samples of student data will not accurately represent what is really happening with student learning and outcomes at SU, but large enough samples will allow meaningful data, results, and evidence-based decision-making.

Participated in GULL Week before? Please participate again! Not only do we rotate the assessments we administer in GULL Week, but we also hope to have students take the same test several times during their time at SU so we can see if there is any change. For instance, has your Information Literacy improved from when you were an incoming student to a year or two later?

Still not convinced? Want to know what's in it for you? Here are few more reasons to spend an hour of your time helping us improve SU:
- Extra credit or other course incentives - ask your instructors!
- GULL Week participants can get an amazing t-shirt designed by an SU student on a first-come, first-served basis - a new design for each GULL Week!"
- Help your College or School win recognition with the highest percentage of GULL Week participants
- Help your Fraternity or Sorority win recognition and funds with the highest percentage of GULL Week participants
- Help your Registered Club or Organization win recognition and funds with the highest percentage of GULL Week participants
- Help your Residence Hall win recognition and Gull Games points with the highest percentage of GULL Week participants (Gull Games was formally known as Spring Olympics)
