Thank you to all of you who took the dateline survey. Overall we had a total of 636 people who took the survey. We will take this feedback in the coming weeks and improve Dateline. The goal is to provide the information you need to make your job easier while creating a sense of community for the campus. The feedback from this survey was valuable, and there are a lot of insights to be reviewed.
Thank you again,
Greg Delviscio
Vice President
