Y2Q survey responses grow; still time to win prizes and help the school
This is an update from Sara Kim, associate dean for Educational Quality Improvement:
You helped raise our response rate by 10 percent to 31 percent, exceeding the national average of 20 percent. Thank you to those who took the time to complete this 12-minute survey; it closes on Jan. 1, 2023.
Montana continues to lead with 45 percent (up 4 percentage points), followed by Gonzaga (36 percent vs. 12 percent previously), Idaho (32 percent vs. 16 percent), Wyoming (30 percent vs. 20 percent), Seattle (29 percent vs. 20 percent), and Alaska (11 percent vs. 5 percent).
After completing the survey, please email eqi@uw.edu to be included in the drawings. Even if you don’t inform us, we will make sure there is a fair way to include everyone for the following incentives:
- 1 Amazon tablet ($50 worth)
- 1 Kindle ($100 worth)
- 2 wireless earbuds ($100 worth)
- 2 Portable charger ($55 worth)
- 3 Amazon Fire TV stick ($25)
The earlier you take the survey, the more chances you have to win. One winner for an Amazon Tablet will be drawn on Monday, Nov. 11. Winners for the rest of the items will be randomly drawn after the Y2Q survey closes in December. If you are selected, we will ask for the survey completion receipt from AAMC.
Thank you for your participation and please encourage your peer students to participate in the survey!
