Hello Graduate Student:
You are invited to participate in our GSA annual survey. In this survey, the entire graduate community has been asked to participate. You will be asked a variety of questions, which will help inform the GSA, its executives, and the university in its strategic planning, program development, and resource allocation over the next year.
This survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, and we look forward to receiving your feedback.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and entirely anonymous, and the answers will not be tied to you as an individual. If you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.
Please be thoughtful in your responses as you can, as your input will directly impact the GSA's strategic planning.
Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact the GSA Communication Coordinator at [email protected]
At the end of the survey you will be asked for your email address if you wish to be entered into a draw to win $400! Your email address will only be used to contact you should you win the iPad Mini, and all email addresses will be deleted after the winner is notified.
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below. |
