👋 Community Introductions

Hello!

My name is Rochelle Fisher and I am the Workforce Development Assessment Coordinator at the Virginia Community College System. I use Qualtrics regularly to garner insights from students, college staff, and faculty. I completed Qualtrics training at James Madison University in 2012 and used it internally there in the Orientation office. I have used Qualtrics regularly since that training and am excited to learn more about Qualtrics through this community. In addition, I hope to work on the Qualtrics certifications as a professional development opportunity through my current employer.

@JulieT we can definitely meet up at X4! Rich is planning on going as well. We usually bring a group with us to the Summit. Can't wait!

> Hey there, Julie here in Oshkosh, WI. I had the pleasure of meeting @Tyler at last year's certification! I'm the University Qualtrics promoter. We're finally exploring using Qualtrics for Student Opinion Surveys and market research. Looking forward to bouncing ideas and solutions with everyone.

Hey @JulieT - I'm just up the road in Appleton, WI - small world!

I'm a little late to this introduction. I've been working at Miller for 25+ years where I've done research for 18+ of those years. We are a manufacturer of welding and cutting equipment. Customers range from home owners to shipyards with thousands of welders.

I have enjoyed working with Qualtrics since 2011. LOVE the summit! Have gone every year! I am gold certified and working on my CX certification. I have a very small team of two who run surveys everyday. From running customer experience, new product research, usability, website, overall market segmentation to employee surveys - I am in Qualtrics all day long.

Glad to meet you all!

Yo! Late to the party here, just like I am to all my meetings. I work at Utah Valley University, just down the word for the glorious Qualtrics HQ. I manage UVU's instance of Canvas, Qualtrics, Kaltura, and a few other programs. I freaking love thinking of different ways to use Qualtrics throughout our institution.

Hi, I'm Sara. I work for a leadership development firm called The Leaders Lyceum. We use Qualtrics for their 360 platform since we created our own questions and competencies. I didn't realize it, but we were a part of the beta group when the 360 platform launched, and in a way I feel like I worked for Qualtrics for that first year as I was always on the phone with them reporting bugs and requesting changes. Love the friendliness of your staff and the fact that you never blacklisted my phone number!

Hi All. I'm Mark from Las Vegas. After 24 years creating and managing corporate market research functions (and using Qualtrics in my last two roles), I made the leap to step out on my own. My consulting company utilizes a huge network of highly experienced market research colleagues and we have been very busy providing market research services for a number of different industries. We use Qualtrics for all of our studies and I'm our primary programmer along with managing all of our data work. I'm hoping to attend the Summit for the first time in March so can hopefully meet many of you then in person.

Welcome, @Clint! We'll be sure to let our X4 team know you'd like karaoke for the following year's Summit....

Welcome, @MichelleC! No hard feelings from me! Both of my siblings went to Michigan State even though I went to Michigan, and I still get along with them, so we're still thrilled to have you.

@Ben I've got a discussion going under Research Core Using Research Core for Course Evaluation
@RondaD and others hopefully will jump in and give us some advice. We're in the infancy stage of setting up and hope to implement summer 2018.

@JulieT , would love to hear about how your university is using Qualtrics for Student Opinion Surveys. That has been the biggest initiative for our team with Qualtrics this semester as well!

Hi everyone, I'm Ben. I am an Instructional Technologist for the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. I am the brand administrator for our campus. We use Qualtrics for all types of purposes, from research to registrations and student feedback. I have been working with Qualtrics for 2 years and absolutely love it.

I'm excited to collaborate with you all and find innovative ways to use Qualtrics!

Hi everyone! I'm Ronda. I work for Brené Brown Education and Research Group (BBEARG). BBEARG is based in Houston, TX., but I live in Buffalo, NY. We have online learning (braveleadersinc.com), an online store (themarblejar.com), a program to train helping professionals (thedaringway.com) and more. I do lots of course evaluations as well as customer experience and customer service surveys. I've been using Qualtrics for almost 2 years and I have gold certification. I attended the last 2 Summits, and I'm looking forward to X4 (and the CX certification).

Hello. Anne from Bazaarvoice in Austin, Texas here. Bazaarvoice is a SaaS company all about user-generated content (like ratings and reviews and answers from retailers and brands) syndicated across a vast network of consumers, brands, and retailers. A little hard to explain, but I administer our client experience survey program in Qualtrics, and use Vocalize dashboards to share results and analysis internally. We also are integrated with Salesforce.

We've been using Qualtrics for just under 2 years, and I am currently gold certified (a.k.a. Research Core Expert Certified). Nice to meet everyone!

Hey Julie, good to hear from you again :)
Hopefully that certification knowledge helps ya win a Summit pass on us this year!
