Respond to This Important Grad Student Survey! March 18, 2008

Hi everybody,

 If you haven’t gotten an e-mail from Amy or Andrea yet, or even if you have, let me remind you to respond to the survey they put together to gather data on grad student sentiment in our department.  They are going to use these data to help the incoming chair, Steve Vallas, to make changes that will make our lives better.  He and the faculty won’t know what changes to make if they don’t hear from you, though.  Questions range from items about your status and activities in the program and the discipline to items about your satisfaction with advisors, funding, etc., and there is space for your own comments.  They say they will also set up an online forum for discussion.  Once the data have been compiled, they will pass them on to the faculty and the new chair, and we can hopefully get down to business improving the grad experience.  Here’s the link:

Thanks!  If you have any questions, complaints, or rants, come find Andrea or Amy or myself, or send one of us an e-mail.
