It's easier than ever to survey students and alumni about their experiences at IC.  This may be progress, but it also means that our students and alumni are being surveyed more than ever and are suffering from serious survey fatigue.  When there are too many surveys in their inboxes, people simply stop participating, our response rates drop, and none of us gets the information we need. 

One way to address this problem is by contributing to the IC Survey Clearinghouse.
