20 October 2006 - Rose-Hulman Mathematics Alumni Survey Cover Letter

Dear Rose-Hulman Mathematics Alum,

The Mathematics Department is attempting to determine how well our program prepared you for your career. Your responses will help us understand how we can improve our programs. In order to do this we've created a survey we would like you to complete. This should take less than 20 minutes of your time and would benefit the Mathematics Department greatly. We are particularly interested in the variety of careers of our graduates and any advice you might have for a college student interested in mathematics. The number 1 question we get in recruiting math majors is “I really like math, but what would I do after I graduate?” Real experiences of real alumni help to answer this question.

Since so many of our alumni have taken math as a second major, we are also sending this email note to double majors to get feed back on the double major program.  If you are a double major you will likely get an invitation to participate from your other department.  However, the survey is set up so that you identify both majors and just do the survey once. This is the second year we have participated in the survey. Last year we surveyed all known math alumni and got a  good and valuable response.  This year we are just surveying last year's graduates,  we are eager to hear the thoughts of alumni in the first stages of their career.

Because this is an anonymous survey, your responses will be tabulated and reported in aggregate. Please complete the survey by December 1. Simply visit the survey link below to begin the survey.
