Dear CCE Graduate Students, If you haven't already, I encourage you to complete the national Graduate Student Experience in the Research University (gradSERU) survey to provide our department with valuable insights into your well-being, research and teaching experiences, program climate, career plans, and financial support. You should have received the first 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. At this time, the gradSERU response rate is LOW at only at 8%! We need at least 25% to ensure the collected data accurately reflect the opinions and experiences of the entire grad student population, leading to more reliable and actionable insights for decision-making. Take the survey today using the personalized link in an email received from seru@purdue.edu<mailto:seru@purdue.edu>. If you cannot find the email, contact seru@purdue.edu<mailto:seru@purdue.edu>. For more information, please visit gradSERU FAQ<https://www.purdue.edu/idata/products-services/assessment/seru.php>. Thank you for your time and valuable insights.
