Student Senate sent a survey via email to collect student testimonials regarding the information previously released about Winter Term at 8:06 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 19.
Students can remain anonymous or state their name in their response. Student Senate hopes that the college will use these to understand how students are feeling about the new changes to the calendar and make changes accordingly.
The email said, “The Student Senate Executive asks you complete this form regarding the new Winter Term schedule. We are compiling student testimonials with feedback about the changes in the academic calendar as it is our role to serve the student population. We want to gauge the student body’s thoughts, any and all feedback is welcome. Feel free to email senate@wartburg.edu with any questions. “
Emma Williams, student body vice president, said this email and survey will allow Student Senate to fulfill their job duties and listen to the student body.
“”It is essential that Student Senate hears the voices of students to accurately represent the student body,” Williams said. “To do this best, we are looking for student testimonials to confirm our understanding of the student body’s reaction to the updated Winter Term calendar.”
