CALS Advising Survey

A web-based survey was designed to collect student evaluations of their academic advisors in CALS (initiated April 2002). Survey answers are kept confidential and used to help CALS make valid judgements about advising effectiveness.

An email is sent to each CALS student in the spring semester asking them to complete a short survey on the web, and in return, be rewarded with a certificate for a free Ben & Jerry's ice cream cone.

The survey is hosted at:
