HEDS Returning Student Survey

    The HEDS Returning Student Survey was administered to sophomores, juniors, and seniors between August 3 and August 19, 2020. 36% of these students responded to the survey. The survey focused on plans for the future, reasons to be in college, and strategies for handling difficulties that have arisen due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students had the opportunity to share their responses with advisors and staff on campus for further conversation.
