Students With Children and Family Responsibilities

Dear students,

We are interested in learning more about your children and family responsibilities so that we can improve services and support for you. Your answers to this survey are anonymous. We will share the results of the survey with the Trinity campus community, and we will use the results to plan changes in academic and co-curricular programs to ensure greater support for students with children and family responsibilities. Thanks for taking two minutes to answer this survey!
