Here’s why the survey is important:<\/strong> It helps us know if we are preparing students well for the real world. Plain and simple — we want to know if we did well by you.<\/p>\n

It’s your opportunity to give feedback — positive or negative — and make your voice heard. Right now, we only have a 35% response rate and we would love to have a more representative sample of what’s happening with everyone<\/em>.<\/p>\n
