The deadline to complete the employee survey has been extended to March 14!
A&M-San Antonio is working with the Institute for Organizational Excellence (IOE) at UT Austin to survey all faculty and staff.

Its research provides support and resources to our campus to help our leadership team better understand and improve our work environment.
You received the SEE survey via email from the Institute for Organizational Excellence in February with a personal access code. To ensure your voice is heard in this process, please complete the survey, which will take about 15 minutes or less to complete. Responses are anonymous.
