What are Pocket Surveys?

• Short surveys to gauge your views about your experiences with various offices on campus.
• These surveys take five minutes at the most to complete on a computer, tablet, or a phone. Taking the survey is voluntary, but we urge you to share your thoughts!
• These are confidential and anonymous. You don’t have to answer questions you are not comfortable with.
• We do ask for demographics as part of our commitment to inclusion and belonging. We want to acknowledge and respect how diversity influences perspectives.
• General results are shared with the Luther Seminary community.
• The team/area of focus responds to students about the results in a timely manner.

What are the details for this month?

• Focus is on the Marketing and Communications team.
• Open from 11/11/2024 through 11/22/2024.
• Take the survey online today!
• Questions? Please contact Trina in the Office of Institutional Research (research@luthersem.edu).
