The Graduate Student Association (GSA) Student Experience Standing Committee is conducting a short questionnaire about your experiences as a graduate student at the University of Calgary. This is a unique opportunity for you to share your opinion and any concerns or difficulties you may experience as a student with the GSA. The results of this survey will better help the committees that make up GSA Student Experience (Community Engagement, Events, Mental Health & Wellness, Newcomers & international Students, Residence & Family Housing, and Sustainability) plan programming for graduate students.
As an incentive for completing the survey, you will optionally have a chance to enter your name in a draw for $250 at the end of the survey. |
