In spring 2007, the MIT Vice President for Institute Affairs and the Alumni Association conducted an Internet survey to seek the opinions of faculty, staff, students and alumni on the types of communications materials at MIT and preferred methods of receiving and sharing news and information. The survey results are available to members of the MIT community to help inform evolving methods of communication at the Institute.
MIT partnered with market research firm Opinion Dynamics Corporation to conduct the survey. Email invitations were sent to all MIT students, faculty and staff, and a random sample of alumni.
