NWFSC is moving into its third and final year of the current strategic plan and is seeking feedback on the perceptions of the college through an online survey. The data collected will serve as a baseline for one of our measures, and we will follow up with a similar survey later in the planning year to compare the results. The anonymous survey should take 3 - 5 minutes to complete. The deadline to complete the survey is Wednesday, Sept. 14.
