All undergraduate, graduate, and GFC faculty (permanent, visiting and adjunct) are asked to respond to this brief survey by Monday, Dec. 12. The survey has three items about the AIM Faculty Portal (used by Disability & Accessibility Services) and three items about Fox360 alerts.
This survey was sent via the faculty email lists, resulting in 49 responses. If you already responded, please do not complete the survey again. Your feedback is valuable as the DAS team pursues continuous improvement to better serve our students and their educational experiences.
Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) if you have questions or feedback about either of these systems.
Come stop by the Murdock Library today (Thursday) between 10 a.m. and noon to get a free donut! The only catch is you have to show that you follow the Psychology Club on Instagram!
