Info request on utilization

[nlerner@MIT.EDU (Neal Lerner)]

WCenter folks:  Sorry if this message is a repeat, but it doesn't seem to
have shown up yet on the list.

Once again, I turn to your collective wisdom in order to save my butt.  I
met with my division chair yesterday, and he stressed that the utilization
of this writing center was perhaps the most important criterion for the
bean counters of the college.  Thus, I'm wondering about comparing this
number to other institutions.  Of the number of hours you're open, how many
of those are spent with students in one-to-one conferencing?

I know how enormous a role context plays in all this, so perhaps you could
tell me a bit about your context.  The background here--the WC I direct is
in its first year at a small college (1400 total students/~175 first-years)
with a science/technology focus.  If you'd prefer to e-mail me this info
privately, feel free.

Thanks in advance.
