The Bureau of Sociological Research

The Bureau of Sociological Research (BOSR) conducts survey research projects for the state of Nebraska and various entities at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.

At BOSR my job was to rebrand the research center and update their survey design processes. During my time there, I developed a new logo and completely rehauled their website to fit within UNL's design standards. I also taught BOSR employees how to utilize the Adobe Creative Suite for survey design, distribution and tracking.

My expertise with Adobe programs improved BOSR's survey design process, saving them about 75% of the time taken to create and distribute surveys. While working at BOSR, I designed the following surveys:

• Nebraska Risk and Protective Factor Student Survey (NRPFSS)
• Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey (NASIS)
• Nebraska Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
• Nebraska End of Life Survey
• Healthy Children, Healthy State - Nebraska Childcare Assessment Survey
• Nebraska Labor Availability Survey

I learned a lot about research design at BOSR. Getting to work on large-scale projects used throughout Nebraska was very rewarding. The results of the surveys I worked on were used by school administrators and researchers across the state.
