For our Intro to Marketing class this semester, we have selected a GFU department on campus to analyze its current marketing strategies and brainstorm ways to improve them. We have developed a market research survey to determine the wants/needs of our target market and how the current events and services offered by Career Services are catering to those needs.

We are hoping to receive feedback from an array of undergrad, grad, and ADP students.

If you wouldn’t mind filling out our survey on Survey Monkey, it should only take you about five minutes and will be simple questions about your interactions with Career Services, what services you have used, and what services you’d like to see implemented on campus.

We would really appreciate the feedback and your help on this class project!
