Send Campus Announcement Message

To be sent 3 days before the Survey launches

The very first message about the MISO Survey will be an e-mail from your CIO or Librarian to all members of each population you’re surveying. This e-mail is sent on the Monday before the Survey launches at your institution, and is sent by you using your campus broadcast e-mail system.

This message alerts community members that the Survey is coming, explains its local value to your institution as well as its national purpose, asks for campus participation, and associates the Survey with a senior member of your campus community. It is an important message, and it’s critical for it to be sent on time. 

Please remember to BCC survey at misosurvey.org on this message (or forward a copy) so that the MISO Survey Team has a record of your message.

Best,
