New Name for Center–Your Input Requested
Dear Student,
We’d like your help with choosing the name for a new center at De Anza College. The program that includes several Learning Communities* has been called Student Success and Retention Services. It will be changing its name as it expands to serve as a center where students can find resources, meet up with others and visit with counselors.
We’re asking you to provide input by completing a short, three-question survey. The initial grant proposal for the project called it EPIC – for Ethnic and Pride Inclusion Center. As you give your input, please consider whether the name is easy to remember and whether it sounds natural in conversation.
Please click the yellow button to complete the short survey no later than Friday, June 13. Your responses are confidential and only the combined data will be shared.
Best wishes,
De Anza College
