Greetings!
 
I hope the beginning of your summer break has been relaxing. We are in the midst of planning for the 2020-2021 academic year and would greatly appreciate your help to make sure we plan in ways that meet your needs to the best of our ability.
 
SUNY is conducting a survey on behalf of all colleges and universities in the state university system. The survey will be sent to your campus email address on or about June first. It will come from survey@suny.edu . SUNY will collect your response and compile it with responses from other ESF students. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the impact that the transition to remote instruction in response to the COVID-19 outbreak had on you. To gather this information, the survey will ask for your thoughts in the following areas:
 
  • The instruction and services you received from ESF
  • Technology, study space, housing, and food security issues
  • Future education plans
  • Financial stress
 
Your participation is entirely voluntary, with no repercussions if you decline to engage. In addition, you can skip any question that you prefer not to answer and still submit the survey. SUNY will provide the results to ESF in the aggregate, so the data ESF receives will be completely confidential and cannot be attributed to you personally. Again, all questions will be optional.
 
I do hope that you will participate in the survey as your feedback will be very helpful to us moving forward. If you have questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me ( aelombard@esf.edu or 315-470-6660).
 
Regards,
Dean Lombard
