Dear Weldon BME Graduate Students, Purdue is committed to improving the graduate student experience, and your input is essential. The national Graduate Student Experience in the Research University (gradSERU) survey provides valuable insights into student well-being, research and teaching, program climate, career plans, and financial support. You should have received an invitation to take the survey on March 10 from seru@purdue.edu<mailto:seru@purdue.edu>. The survey takes 20-40 minutes, and your responses will help Purdue and our department make informed decisions to enhance policies, funding, and resources for graduate students. Why Participate? * All Purdue administrators, faculty, staff, and students can access data and reports from Purdue and other participating institutions, making your feedback part of a broader effort to improve graduate education. Insights from the survey are used to help advocate for your needs. * Your name will be entered to win one of 60 Amazon gift cards at $50 each. If Purdue reaches a 25% response rate, you will be eligible for an additional drawing to win one of five $200 gift cards. Take the survey today using the link in the email received from seru@purdue.edu<mailto:seru@purdue.edu>. If you cannot find the original email, contact seru@purdue.edu<mailto:seru@purdue.edu>.
