Help write the History Center's future

Your input is important

The History Center is planning its future. Your input will help the Center target actions that will create the most value and have the support of key people like you to help make them happen. The questions in this survey follow the steps from the book "How Great Decisions Get Made" (American Management Association, 2004) by Don Maruska. Don will be compiling the survey responses for review with the History Center's leadership and committees.

Please be sure to complete this survey no later than noon, Friday, December 20. It will take about 6 minutes.
