The fourth and final Pocket Survey for the 2024-2025 year is now open. The focus is on Financial Wellness. Pocket Surveys are short surveys to gauge your views about your experiences with various areas and offices of the seminary. These will be distributed four times during this academic year to ALL students. A Pocket Survey takes around five minutes to complete on a computer, tablet, or phone. Taking the survey is voluntary, but we do urge you to share your thoughts. These surveys 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. Take the Financial Wellness survey online today. Open from March 31 through April 11. Questions?
