Subject: Middlebury Senior Survey Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:59:51 -0400 From: Gus Jordan To: Jagruti S Patel Dear Jag, Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! I am asking you to participate in two Senior Surveys this spring and Part I launches today. Completing both parts is an important part of your preparation for graduation. I'm asking that you please take the time to complete it. This survey is your opportunity to reflect on your entire Middlebury experience, voice your opinions, and assist in planning for Middlebury's future. The online survey consists of several linked sections. The sections ask you to evaluate your undergraduate education and experiences. Your responses to these questions will be held in the strictest confidence and used only to construct a comprehensive profile of the senior class as a whole. The entire survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. To access the survey, click on the following link: [url] This is personalized web link assigned to you. Your contribution is crucial for an accurate picture of undergraduate education at Middlebury. I want to assure you that your responses to the survey will be kept strictly confidential. Your personalized URL will enable us to avoid sending you reminders once you have completed the questionnaire. It will also allow us to link your responses to other information in our files in order to increase the usefulness of the survey. Your name will not be associated with these data, and no individually-identifiable information will ever be reported. I hope I can count on your participation in this important project. The survey is, of course, entirely voluntary. If you decline to participate in the survey, or choose to skip any item, your relationship with Middlebury will not be affected.
