Current Student Survey
 

1. Tracking Student Outcomes

 
Dear Student,
A critical part of the HHMI grant is to track long-term student outcomes to assess the impact of our programs. If you have been funded by HHMI to do research, have taken an HHMI course, or have received travel funds to present your research at conferences while at UMass, it is very important that you complete this survey. We will be contacting you in subsequent years to check in, so valid contact information is critical. We hope you are having a great start to your semester and please contact us if you have any questions at 413-577-4147.

Thank you for your time and effort.
