Intern Survey:
Measuring the effectiveness of our student programs
Internship
Home Page
In 2000 we initiated a survey of former Interns
and Graduate Assistants at Archbold Biological Station. By completing this survey, you
will help us measure the long-term effectiveness of our student programs. The survey data
will be made available to potential Interns and Graduate Assistants to inform them of the
types of training they might receive. We also will use these data to seek outside funding
and support to further enhance our student programs.
Please print a copy of this survey, complete it,
and return the form to Cheryl Henderson, Executive Assistant, at the address above OR answer
