Subject: Williams Enrolled Student Survey

Dear [first last],

Every four years Williams conducts an extensive survey of its entire 
student body as part of an ongoing effort to evaluate the student 
experience.  Faculty and administrators pay close attention to the 
results as they are central to campus planning and improvement.

Please take a few minutes to tell us about your involvement in 
academic and extracurricular pursuits; your interaction with faculty, 
advisors and fellow students; and your perceptions of campus; by 
clicking on the following unique URL:

In order to put the survey results into perspective, Williams has 
joined with 30 other highly selective colleges and universities to 
conduct the survey simultaneously.  This will allow us to make 
valuable comparisons between Williams and its peer institutions.

The survey consists of nine linked pages, and a final section 
containing a few questions for Williams students only.  The entire 
survey will take about 20 minutes to complete.  I encourage you to 
fill out the survey as soon as possible and to allow enough time to 
complete it in one sitting.

I want to assure you that the confidentiality of your responses will 
be protected fully.  Our analyses of these data will consist entirely 
of statistics and percentages for large groups.  No 
individually-identifiable information will ever be reported.  Any 
written comments you choose to make will never be associated with you 
personally.

If you have any questions or encounter any problems accessing your 
survey, please contact chris.winters@williams.edu, Director of 
Institutional Research, Provost's Office, Williams College.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Nancy A. Roseman
Dean of the College
