Baruch Educational Technology Committee Survey
This is a reminder to please complete the survey prepared by the Baruch Educational Technology Committee that was distributed earlier this month. The last day will be Monday, April 4. Your responses will provide important insight into the educational technology needs for Baruch staff and faculty going forward. As you may recall, a similar survey was distributed in 2019 (prior to the pandemic) which provided useful, actionable information. Now that it appears we are emerging from the pandemic, this follow-on survey should yield new insights. The committee looks forward to your collective responses. Please feel free to direct any questions or comments regarding the survey to the committee chair, Eugene Marlow.
