A Message from Kara
As part of an ongoing effort to better understand the diversity and inclusion climate at the Foster School of Business, the Foster Diversity Committee created by the Dean is asking that you take a 10 minute survey before January 31. Upon completing the survey, you will be eligible to win 1 of 6, $100 prizes.
The survey contains questions about student perceptions of Foster faculty, classrooms, and demographic information. The results of this survey will be used to develop future initiatives, and will be shared with the entire Foster community (students, staff, faculty, etc.). The survey is completely anonymous, and we will report the results in groups of 10 or more.
Please fill out the survey today so that your views and opinions are represented!
