How do you feel about your graduate student experience? That’s the question the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) Graduate Student Survey, known as the gradSERU Survey, is seeking to understand.
The survey, which takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, is designed to examine students' experiences across the entire spectrum of their graduate career: academic, research, teaching, professional development, well-being and sense of community. A survey URL was distributed over email to almost all non-professional graduate students—search your email for "gradSERU" for your unique URL.
All respondents will be entered to win one of 20 $100 Amazon gift cards. The survey has been extended to May 2.
Take the Faculty & Staff Engagement Survey—it's not too late! The survey is open until Wednesday, April 30.
The survey assesses our workforce's status and key engagement elements such as work enthusiasm, career satisfaction, institutional pride, intent to stay, and connection to the mission. This survey is vital in informing our ongoing efforts to improve the campus experience for all faculty and staff.
Personally identifiable information is released to no one outside of Arthur J. Gallagher. Survey results will not identify individuals; only aggregate findings will be used for organizational improvements.
