Survey feedback from the UMD community is a gift. However, in recent years, the number of surveys on campus has proliferated. Based on an informal poll, we counted over 20 campus-wide surveys administered on a regular, yearly cycle. This increase in surveys has led to "survey fatigue" and low response rates.

Good surveys, especially short ones, take time and effort. This website will help you design and administer a meaningful, actionable survey.
