What are Pocket Surveys? They are very brief surveys designed to gauge student views on different topics.
– They take at the most five minutes to complete on a computer, tablet, or a phone.
– They are always voluntary, and individual questions are optional.
– They are completely anonymous and confidential.
– They ask for some demographic information, as part of our commitment to support inclusion and belonging. Those questions are also optional.

What should I know about this Pocket Survey? The focus of this survey is Student Engagement in Seminary Community Life in anticipation of moving to a new campus. The survey will be open from November 9 through 20. Take the survey online today. Questions? Contact Trina in the Office of Institutional Research (research@luthersem.edu).
