Subject: Williams Student Survey - Final opportunity!

Dear [firstname],

I hope I can convince you to take a few minutes of your Spring Break
to transport yourself back to Williams (in your mind only!) to reflect
on your experience as a student and to complete the Williams Enrolled
Student Survey.
 
There are only a few more days to submit your responses.  After that,
the website will be closed, and Williams will not conduct the ESS
again until 2011.  We really need to hear from you!

This survey is an important part of an ongoing effort to evaluate the
Williams student experience.  We conduct this census of student
opinion every four years.  Faculty and administrators pay close
attention to the results.
 
In order for the results to be meaningful, it is important that all
parts of the campus are represented among the responses: every
neighborhood, every major, every team, and indeed, every opinion is
important.
 
I want to assure you that the confidentiality of your responses will
be protected fully.  Our analyses of these data will consist 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, please contact
me.
