The below is the survey being distributed to chairs and faculty. ACSG is conducting its own survey.

======================

Faculty Member or Chair,

The Facilities and Technology committee is in the process of assessing how technology and facilities affect education at Art Center. We’re also developing issues and ideas for the visioning process and the various committees. As part of this, we need your input.

Please take a few minutes and fill out our survey. Answer as many questions as possible, but if you don’t have anything to say, it’s okay to skip a question. We’re interested in your opinions, ideas, and observations.

Thanks for helping us improve the future of facilities and technology at ACCD!
