Subject: MIT Senior Survey

Dear (Student's First Name],

Every two years, as graduation approaches, MIT conducts a Senior
Survey that asks students to describe their plans after college, to
rate various aspects of their college education, and to suggest ways
to make the MIT experience a more positive one for students who come
after them. This particular survey is being administered
simultaneously at a number of peer institutions, allowing us to make
valuable comparisons.

Surveys like this give students an opportunity to make their voices
heard. The faculty and administrators pay close attention to this
information since it is vital to MIT's future and our commitment to
excellence. We thank you in advance for taking the time to provide
important feedback to your soon-to-be alma mater!

This survey is entirely voluntary. You may answer as few or as many
questions as you wish. This survey requires the use of MIT
certificates for authentication. The data will be treated as
confidential, no one will be personally identified, and all results
will be reported in summary.

As a token of our sincere appreciation for taking this survey, every
senior who completes the survey may choose a $15 credit to TechCash or
a $25 Senior Gift contribution to the Class of 2010 Project. You will
be able to select which prize you want at the end of the survey.

If you have questions about the survey, please contact the survey team
at seniorsurvey@mit.edu.
