The Walden University Student Satisfaction Survey was launched on October 21st. A survey link was sent to Walden e-mail accounts, and reminder e-mails with links to the survey will be distributed regularly as well. It's important to complete the survey because your responses will:

• Share ideas for how we can better support your lifelong learning goals
• Suggest enhancements to our services and programs, and
• Help our university remain an innovator in higher education
