Summer Experience Survey

Summer is an important time for gaining experience and exposure to potential post-graduate interests. The Career Center is often asked what our students have been up to over the summer months. Please help us by completing the Summer Experience Survey. This should take less than 5 minutes. Completed responses are eligible for a gift from the Career Center.

Take the Survey on Handshake.
