You may not realize it, but you alums are a potentially terrific resource for this year's (and future years') graduating seniors. I hope that you will be able to check in now and then (despite your busy schedules) and report on your impressions of college life. I'd also love it if you could respond to questions that this year's seniors might have about the years ahead. <br /> <br />I'll start by posing the first question: If there were <span style="font-weight:bold;">ONE THING</span> you wish you knew about college BEFORE you arrived, what would it be? <br /> <br />I look forward to reading your responses. <br /> <br />Also, <span style="font-weight:bold;">PLEASE</span> take a moment and follow the link below and complete a short survey. The School Board is currently reviewing our curriculum with an eye to determining how well we're preparing our students for life in college and beyond. The information your (anonymous) responses provide will no doubt be useful. So, thank you for taking a moment to fill it out. <br /> <br />http://<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=bSXQQjRPA0JrE6pwwOVWUw_3d_3d">Click Here to take survey <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Best wishes, <br /> <br />Karen Lavender<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8664740213382902609-2470714611147624219?l=thsalumnicorner.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>David Lavendernoreply@blogger.com11
