May 7 To: From: Dean John Boyer Subject: Survey on College Experiences Dear , I hope that you are having an interesting and productive Spring quarter. As part of our continuing efforts to review and improve the quality of the College experience, I write to ask that you take some time to respond to an on-line survey we are undertaking along with a larger group of selective colleges and universities. The survey asks about many aspects of your undergraduate experience and will help us identify some of our strengths and weaknesses in comparison to other similar institutions. Your responses will play a crucial role in our planning and management of College programs over the next few years. You may be candid, as your responses will remain completely confidential. To access the online survey please visit: [url] This is a unique link assigned to you. All College students are receiving the survey, so it is not necessary for you to forward this email to anyone else. Please complete the survey by Tuesday, May 22nd. If you have any questions about this study or experience any problems accessing the survey, please email or phone the CPO at: college-programming@uchicago.edu, 773-702-8616. I am grateful to you for taking the time to fill out this survey. To thank you for your efforts in a tangible way, we have an impressive set of prizes consisting of $50 to $250 gift certificates for on-line sites, restaurants and travel. Each week there will be different prizes, and the sooner you fill out the survey, the more chances you will have to win. Prize details are outlined at the bottom of this email and all winners will be announced on May 25th. I wish you all the best as you complete the quarter and the year. Sincerely, John W.
