Alumni Engagement Survey
Message from Trevor Smith, Admissions and Alumni Manager
We're inviting our alumni to participate in an engagement survey so that we will know better how and where you want to be communicated to, as well as what type of programming we could provide that best serves our former, current, and future students. If you have five minutes to spare, please take the survey. I'm looking forward to partnering with this group! If you have questions about my role or thoughts about alumni engagement, please reach out to me either on LinkedIn or at tsmith89@uw.edu.
