Dear students,
The past several months have proved to be a challenge for all. We thank you for your efforts this semester in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing masks and social distancing, which have allowed students to remain on campus. Still, we know that this semester has been different than many, and next semester will follow in similar fashion. To this end, we wish to gather your feedback and thoughts about your learning this past semester so that we can hopefully improve our department's activities in the spring. Results will be shared with faculty, instructors, and staff.
-FABE
