Take the AGES Graduate Survey!

Will — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:33:23 +0000

We are looking for input from graduate students in the Faculty of Education in order to get a sense of the needs or concerns they would like to see addressed in order to improve the overall grad experience. In order to get a sense of students’ general satisfaction with their individual programs, we have constructed a little survey which is embedded in this webpage directly below. All survey respondents will remain anonymous. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world’s leading questionnaire tool.
