Subject: Amherst Alumni Survey Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:50:06 -0400 From: Betsy Cannon Smith To: Jagruti Patel Dear Jagruti, You have been selected to complete an alumni survey regarding your experiences at and opinions of Amherst College. This survey is an opportunity to have your voice heard and your ideas considered as part of the ongoing planning process at Amherst. All data collected through the survey will remain strictly confidential. All records of this project will be maintained without any personal identifiers included in the files. Completing the survey should take no more than 20 minutes. To do so, please click on the link provided below. This is a unique link assigned only to you. For this reason, it is important that you do not share or forward it to anyone else. This survey is being organized through the Office of Institutional Research at Amherst and conducted in cooperation with many of Amherst's peer institutions. If you have a spouse, partner, or friend who attended one of these schools he or she may also be receiving one of these surveys. Not all Amherst alumni are being asked to complete this survey, in fact only 800 or so are being contacted, so it is especially important that those who are invited to participate do so in a timely manner. You should also contact Marian if you have any other questions about this project or if you would prefer not to participate in this project and would like to be removed from the list. Marian can be reached at mfmatheson@amherst.edu or 413 542-5187. Thank you in advance for your help in this important process. I look forward to sharing the results of the survey with you in the near future. Sincerely, Betsy Cannon Smith Alumni Secretary
