Subject: Wellesley Freshman Survey

Dear Jag:

You have probably seen an announcement on the Wellesley Portal about
the CIRP survey that Wellesley College is asking you to fill out.  It
is a national survey of first-year students run by the Higher
Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los
Angeles.  Wellesley has participated in the survey since 1971. This
year's online version is being administered through the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.

The survey asks about your high school activities, goals for college,
and plans after you graduate.  Faculty and administrators pay close
attention to this information, which helps them understand the
entering class better.  You will have the opportunity at the end of
the survey to decide how much information about yourself you would
like to share with the researchers that oversee the survey and
administrators at Wellesley.  Be assured that survey responses are
confidential and that you will not be personally identifiable in any
report.

To access the survey, please click on the following link:

This is a unique link assigned to you.  For this reason, it is
important that you do not share it or forward this e-mail. The survey
takes approximately 20-25 minutes to complete.  It consists of nine
sections; please complete all sections so that we have a record of
your full set of responses. We encourage you to fill out the survey as
soon as possible, but allow enough time to complete it in one
sitting.  If you encounter any problems while taking the survey,
please contact me at lbaldwin@wellesley.edu.

Thank you for providing this feedback to Wellesley! We greatly
appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lawrence M. Baldwin
Director of Institutional Research
Wellesley College
