University Communication Project

Student Government President JW Van der Schans is leading an initiative to conduct surveys in order to determine the ideal way for campus organizations and departments to keep students updated on events and information. The results of the survey would be shared with various groups such as dining or residential services to help with student outreach. The services would then use the results of the survey to change up the way they communicate, keeping students from having to follow multiple UTD social media accounts.
