ATTN Seniors: Mandatory Survey

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that you will be getting a 5-minute Zoomerang Survey in your e-mail boxes TODAY.

You will need to fill out this survey prior to picking up your cap and gowns next week.  Although we will have computers at the Cap and Gown distribution, avoid the lines and the frustration and complete the survey in advance.

Thanks!
