Williamsburg Workshop Follow-up Survey - Supplemental

Greetings!

This survey is designed for 2YC participants in the SAGE 2YC Workshop in July 2013 in Williamsburg, Virginia. The purpose is to collect information about the longer-term impacts and outcomes of the workshop. We greatly appreciate your participation. Please take this time to answer as thoughtfully and honestly as you can. "No" answers are as important to us as "Yes" answers.

The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete—please feel free to write informative but brief answers.

Your participation in this survey will be confidential. This means that only project evaluators will be able to link your specific answers to your identity, and only project evaluators and PI's will have access to your specific responses. (PIs will see responses without any identifying features, and in a jumbled order.) Your answers will be combined with other answers and presented in aggregate form only. Any quotes used will be anonymous and stripped of any identifying content.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary. You may exit the survey at any time, although if you do not click on the submit button no answers will be recorded. Please be assured that your input will be extremely helpful for future planning and activities for 2YC geoscience faculty and issues.

If you have any questions please contact Joan Karp at the Program Evaluation and Research Group (PERG) 978-816-7632, or jkarp@endicott.edu. Thank you!

Consent to ParticipatePlease be assured that the responses to this survey are confidential. (Only project evaluators will see your full survey responses; only project PIs will have access to your responses with no identifying features, including your name.) By participating in this survey you are helping to support improved planning and activities for 2YC geoscience faculty, and it poses no risk to you as an individual. Responses will be analyzed with other individual responses to find common themes, and presented only in aggregate form. I agree that I have been informed of the purpose of this study, and that I waive written consent by checking below.
