WUSTL Environmental and Social Interest Survey

Below you will find a link to a survey about student involvement in environmental and social issues and interest in course offerings. The results of this survey will be used administratively to potentially develop new courses on the connections between environmental and social problems. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete.

Your survey responses will be anonymous unless you volunteer for a focus group on the same subject. You will have this option at the end of the survey. If you volunteer for the focus group your survey responses will still be confidential and separated from your personal information. Take the WUSTL Environmental and Social Interest Survey.
