Some Questions to Keep the Conversation Going
What's going well for you?
Is there something you wish were different?
What's important to you as a student?
What do you think Student Government should pay more attention to?
If you could change one thing about the student experience, what would it be?
When Something Interesting Comes Up
Don't be afraid to stay with the subject.
"Tell me more about that."
"Why?"
"How does that affect you?"
"Is this something other students talk about, too?"
Before You Finish
"If Student Government could accomplish one thing this year, what should it be?"
Thank the student for taking the time to talk with you.
One Last Reminder
It's a conversation, not a questionnaire.
Let the student talk.
