All, We're about to close this survey and summarize this data, but wanted to send out one final reminder. I plan to close the survey end-of-day on Thursday, 2/27/2014. Also, there is a slightly modified version that attempts to get at mitigation strategies, which is likely of interest to all of us as April 8 draws near: https://docs.google.com/a/whitman.edu/forms/d/1zPOJRV09QurupHcABN3LSOO7knsi9RfQM62jwR50tZI/viewform If you filled out the first version, there is no need to fill out the new one. Thank you for your assistance!
