Pre- and post-HJA Day surveys were designed to help understand visitor experiences and thoughts about HJA Day 2014. A combined total of 136 individuals registered for HJA Day 2014. Registrants were requested to complete both pre- and post-HJA Day surveys either in person or online. Of these, 76 registrants completed each survey for a 56% response rate of both the pre- and post-HJA Day survey. This frequency report provides an initial look at both pre- and post-HJA Day responses.

• This frequency report displays data from two in-person/internet questionnaires from HJA Day 2014. While the annual HJA Days have been a growing success for 20 years, the Andrews LTER program would like to improve its communication of scientific information in a meaningful, effective way. By responding to these questions, participants helped create a better understanding of what is important to people who attend HJA Day. This information is useful for the Andrews LTER staff who organize and run HJA Day each year.
