Result as of Dec2007:

Four Biostat IIs and two Biostat IIIs, who have recently joined our department since October 2007, are surveyed in December, and all of them responded to the survey.

All responders have responded positively to the content of the welcoming package, the clarity of directions to Lot73 and MCN, and the process of getting their ID badge and Parking decal. And all have had their phone and computer installed on their first day of work.

All responders like the idea of a greeting card, 5 out of 6 wanted our department to continue this tradition.

All Biostat IIs have met with their Ph.D. supervisors during their first week and learned what was expected from them.

Both Biostat IIIs have met with our department chair during their first week and learned what was expected from them.

Five out of six Bio-statisticians have found the "Jump Start for New Bio-statisticians" page to be very helpful to them.

Suggestions for the JumpStartForNewBiostatisticians: More Sweave templates, especially for descriptive reports.
