Dove and Databases

Dove, a local domestic violence and homeless shelter, is one of MUPC’s ongoing projects, allowing our consultants to work with students and faculty from Millikin’s Human Services department. Currently, both groups are working on putting together mock point-in-time (PIT) surveys for a database trial run before the coming semester’s real survey. Our consultants have been working to fill out these mock surveys in order to make improvements while using them to familiarize themselves with the database on Microsoft Access. Clarence, one of our Senior Consultants, is enjoying his second semester with Dove, saying “It’s nice to get to work with human services to get another perspective besides an IS one.”
