Our communications approaches should adapt to the changing needs of our audiences. It is with this purpose in mind that we are conducting an in-depth survey of alumni and ask for your participation. Your opinion is important to us. Please complete the survey by September 2, 2008; the average time to finish it is 5 minutes. We very much appreciate your time and input.
