Hello Internship Graduates

In 2015, our 5 year Program Assessment Report is due. To prepare for this report, we are collected program outcome data. This survey is aimed to provide information about the professional and educational activities of previous graduates and also to get some feedback about the internship experience.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary, but we do appreciate the feedback. Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Christie Moulder at 434-982-4925 or by email at [email protected]

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
