Hello,

Student Government Association has just finished compiling the results of its annual Campus Wide Survey. The survey was emailed to all students a month ago, and was posted on Intercom and other online social media platforms. We received over 200 responses, and of course the survey is far from scientific, but SGA uses the results of the survey to help guide initiatives for the year to come.  Think of it more like a suggestion box and less like a political poll. It’s important to note that because of the nature of the survey, only the students with the loudest opinions would be inclined to respond, but SGA’s function is to investigate and provide recommendations for improvement on all areas of student concern.
