Dear [Prefix last name], You recently received an e-mail invitation to complete a survey about the Class of 1998 that Stanford, along with 30 other universities and colleges, is conducting. Our records indicate that you have not yet answered the survey, but we hope you will take this chance to help tell the story of the Class of 1998. Your thoughts and opinions will not only provide Stanford with valuable information about our performance as an educational institution, but will also enable us to compare characteristics with those of our peer institutions. So I invite -- and strongly encourage -- you to participate in the survey. All responses will be kept strictly confidential. This research is being conducted by the Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE), which performs research and policy analysis related to admissions, financial aid, and academics. The coordinator of the survey at Stanford is Rana Glasgal, and she can be reached at rglasgal@stanford.edu or (650)725-1327. Please click here to connect to the survey: [URL] (This is a unique URL assigned directly to you for this survey; please do not share it or forward this email to others.) Thank you for your help with this survey. Your responses are truly important to us. John Etchemendy Provost, Stanford University
