For my Magazine and Feature Writing class (JOUR 330), I am conducting a survey for students relating to their opinions of the 2016 election – how they feel about George Fox staff responding to the event, and how they think the university should react toward it.
Submissions for the survey will remain anonymous; however, students can send their name and a written response toward the subject matter if they wish for their opinions to be read in my feature article. I would prefer to get as many participants as possible before Monday, Dec. 5.
Thank you,
Ian Snively (isnively15@georgefox.edu)
