[MES Forum] Midpoint Survey of Students

[McClimans, Melinda]

Dear Faculty,

We’re making student experience central to our programs and decision-making at the Center, and we would like you to join us as we learn from student perspectives. Please consider integrating a midpoint survey that includes questions about Middle East Studies Center community events. If you’re not familiar with midpoint surveys or you want more information about how this will work, we will host short orientation with Larry Hurtubise of the Drake Institute<https://drakeinstitute.osu.edu/user-profile/22> for Teaching and Learning.

Please let me know by Friday. Here is the schedule and the questions to be included. Please let me know if you have any questions.
