*PUBLISHED IN 2020
In 2020 Kivunim undertook a study of the program, tracing its effects on participants of the first 13 years. The study was designed to reach the 589 alumni who participated in academic years ending in 2007-2019. The data-gathering for this online survey took place between January 22 and April 30, 2020. Fully 65% of the 589 alumni answered the survey. This report answers the following questions:
How do they view the program in retrospect? What is their understanding of the different elements of the program?
In what ways do they see Kivunim’s effects in their lives? What effects do we, the researchers, discern based on our analyses?
What are the characteristics of Kivunim alumni? What do we know about their backgrounds prior to attending Kivunim and their lives since completing the program?
The results and answers to these questions are now in our hands! We hope you enjoy reading the study, published by Bethamie Horowitz, Phd, and Amanda Winer from New York University. You can view the study below or download a copy here.
