Dear Language Schools Alumni,
It gives us great pleasure to share the findings of the Alumni Survey with you. The Alumni Survey was sent via email to all Language Schools alumni in the fall of 2012 - from the most recent graduating class to those who graduated more than 50 years ago!
We have been analyzing the data over the past year and we thought you would enjoy some of these interesting findings, displayed below. Our mission is to continually improve the education and experience we provide to our students, and your willingness to share your thoughts with us about your time at the Language Schools is an invaluable resource for measuring our success. Our most sincere thanks to those who completed the 2012 Alumni Survey. For those interested, we will conduct another alumni survey again in 2017—and we look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Sincerely,
Susan Baldridge, Ph.D.
Vice President for Planning and Assessment
Professor of Psychology
Middlebury College
