To: From: Chris Colombo Subject: 2007 American Freshman Survey Dear [fname lname], Recently, you received an invitation from me asking you to complete the 2007 American Freshman Survey. We noticed that you have not yet submitted your response. While the information collected allows us to make comparisons with our peer schools, surveys like this will also give us an opportunity to follow up with you later. I strongly encourage you to complete the Survey. To access the survey, please go to the following personal URL: [URL] Again, the information obtained from the survey will be kept strictly confidential. Individual responses are never released. However, when responding to Question #42, I urge you to give permission to include your ID number in the data set. This will be the only way that Columbia researchers can follow up on your progress later. Thank you. Sincerely, Chris Colombo Dean of Student Affairs
