Online Journal Surveys
Part of your commitment as a Business Fellow involves completing assessment surveys related to your experience as a Business Fellow. The assessments are used to provide reports to the Lilly Endowment that funds the Business Fellows program. This semester you will receive periodic requests from the Office of Academic Assessment to complete short online journal questions. Please respond in a timely manner to these requests. Your feedback about your Business Fellows project is critical to the reports that the university submits to the Lilly Endowment. Thank you for all your continued hard work!
