Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:44:34 -0400 To: "Jagruti Patel" From: "Alumni Affairs Director, Ann Peterson" Subject: 2009 Rice University Alumni Survey Dear Jagruti Patel, I invite you to participate in the 2009 Rice University Alumni Survey. This project is targeted exclusively to the baccalaureate alumni of 1999 and 2004, and is part of the university's ongoing efforts to evaluate Rice's educational outcomes and institutional effectiveness. Through the convenience of this web-based survey, we hope that you will candidly share with us your thoughts on your post-graduation experiences and an assessment of your undergraduate education at Rice. We are participating in this study with most of the thirty-one selective private colleges and universities that are member institutions of the Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE). As we have done in the past, Rice is administering this survey through the web survey facilities of MIT. I assure you that all data will remain strictly confidential and the results of the survey will not be reported in a manner that would identify you or any other individual. Please click on your personal web link below to open the 2009 Rice University Alumni Survey: (This is a unique URL assigned directly to you for this survey; please do not share it or forward this email to others.) The survey consists of seven linked sections, and I hope that you will complete them all. The final section includes a few supplemental questions that will be asked only of the Rice alumni. Thanks for participating in this important study. Sincerely, Ann Peterson 86 Director, Alumni Affairs
