Dear Jagruti Patel,

As we wrote you earlier this month, Princeton is cooperating with
other selective colleges and universities in a survey of alumni
concerning their post-graduation activities and their evaluation of
their undergraduate experiences.  We are now writing to solicit your
participation, and to provide you with the information you need to
complete the survey.

This research is being conducted by the Consortium on Financing Higher
Education (COFHE) for itobjectives are to assist in identifying ways
to keep college affordable and institutions financially and
academically sound.  Its research is especially valuable to us because
it permits us to compare our institutional characteristics with those
of similar institutions.

COFHE has conducted a number of student and alumni surveys over the
years.  This year, all 31 member colleges and universities are
participating in the alumni survey.  We are eager to have Princeton
well represented in the data that will be collected for analysis.

Please be assured your responses will be strictly confidential.  Your
participation in the survey is strictly voluntary, and you are free to
decline to answer any of the individual questions. Any findings based
upon this survey will be reported in a manner that does not identify
individuals.

If you have any questions about this project they may be address to
Vice Provost Jed Marsh, who can be reached at (609) 258-7860 or
jmarsh@princeton.edu.
