Dear Jagruti,

I am writing to inform you of a survey Columbia will be conducting in 
the coming weeks and to encourage you to participate. In the years 
since we graduated, we've had a chance to get established in our 
careers, to further our education, and to gain a clearer perspective 
on our undergraduate education. To assist the College in assessing 
its goals, it will be helpful to hear from you about the topics 
covered in the survey. This is a good time for us to give Columbia 
the benefit of our insights and experience. I hope at your earliest 
convenience you will take the twenty minutes or so needed to complete 
the survey.

Please visit your personal web survey link:


Your personalized URL enables us to avoid sending you reminders once 
you have completed the survey, and to link your responses to other 
information in our files in order to increase the usefulness of the 
survey. All of your responses will be kept completely confidential. 
To gain a comparative perspective, responses from our classes will be 
studied in the context of those from comparable alumni from other 
similar private colleges and universities. Our feedback on this 
survey will be one of the best ways that we, as alumni, can influence 
the future direction of our alma mater. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Geoffrey Colvin, President
Columbia College Alumni Association
