The University of New Mexico is seeking undergraduate students to take an online survey about their UNM experiences - everything from how they view the quality of their classes and academic advising to their overall sense of belonging as a Lobo.
The survey is part of the BELONG (Building Environments for Learning, Opportunity, Navigation and Growth) project led out of the Office of Academic Affairs. The data will help UNM in its continuous efforts to improve life for students - both academically and socially.
For their time, students will have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes, such as Lobo Cash, gift certificates, UNM Athletics apparel, or experiences like a tour of the NMPBS tower atop Sandia Crest, golf lessons and personal training sessions.
The survey link can be accessed here: https://survey.ruffalonl.com/#/entry/passcode/sps/6661/54878
Students will be asked for a passcode, which is their UNM email address.
BELONG is a comprehensive, strategic enrollment and academic planning effort focused on health professions enrollment growth as well as its impact on undergraduate education, student support systems, academic resources and institutional capacity. BELONG brings together leadership from the Albuquerque campus, including the Health Sciences Center, and UNM's branch campuses in Gallup, Los Alamos, Taos and Valencia County in collaboration with national higher education partner Encoura.
"Every discipline at UNM plays a vital role in educating the workforce and serving our communities, and a strong health sector depends on excellence across the arts, humanities and sciences," said Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Barbara Rodriguez. "BELONG is about aligning our strengths to meet an urgent statewide need while continuing to advance the full breadth of UNM's academic enterprise."
The survey will close May 15.
