To: From: Daniel Hastings Subject: MIT PULSE Survey: Share Your Views Dear [Student's First Name], I invite you to take a short survey to share your views about various aspects of your academic and student life experiences at MIT. 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. This survey is sponsored by the Provost and the Dean for Undergraduate Education and is being administered simultaneously at a number of peer institutions, allowing us to make valuable comparisons. I am asking you to help MIT have a strong representation in the data that are analyzed in this project. The survey is entirely voluntary. You may answer as few or as many questions as you wish. The data will be treated as confidential, no one will be personally identified, and all results will be reported in summary format. The survey consists of seven short linked sections and takes 5-10 minutes to complete. To access the survey, please go to the following personal web link: [INSERT LINK] Thank you very much for your help with this project. Yours truly, Daniel Hastings Dean for Undergraduate Education
