ANNOUNCEMENTS

ATTENTION ALL REDEEMER STUDENTS: TODAY you will receive an invitation by e-mail (sent to your Redeemer e-mail address) to participate in the 2011 Canadian University Report survey. Students from universities across Canada will be participating in this survey, and the results will be published in the Globe and Mail newspaper. The survey asks about all aspects of Redeemer - professors, classes, athletics, extracurricular activities, information technology, etc. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and a link to the survey will be included in the e-mail invitation. This is the fourth year that Redeemer has participated in the Canadian University Report and your participation is very important. Redeemer takes seriously the results from surveys of this sort, so please take the time to complete the survey. Although the deadline is March 22, 2010, please complete the survey before then. In exchange for your participation, you may enter a random draw for one of twenty $100 prizes. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Needham at Extension 4236. (First-year students: The Canadian University Report is NOT the survey that the Registrar, Mr. Wikkerink, has asked you to complete.)
