ASR Staff Engagement August 24th Survey

This week’s ASR Staff Engagement Survey is related to data security. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and experiences.

According to the last survey, most are feeling pretty good as fall semester approaches (38.4%). We received lots of great feedback when asked what advice you would give to new staff going into the start of the semester. Taking breaks when needed and taking things one day at a time were mentioned frequently. All responses will be included in the N&N blog.

When asked about favorite places to get food on or around campus, Wally’s and Bahn Appetit received the most responses. Finally, most are planning to attend the State Fair this year (53.8%). Thanks all for your continued participation! It is very much appreciated.
