4.  Princeton Review Survey   ----------------------------
     UVM has been selected as a finalist for inclusion in a new book, Colleges
with a Conscience: An Engaged Students’ Guide to College, forthcoming from
Campus Compact and The Princeton Review, in partnership with Random House. The
book is designed to help high school students incorporate service and activism
opportunities into their college selection process and to showcase campuses
that have made an institutional commitment to engagement in their community.
Each campus included in the book will have a two-page profile focusing on
programs and practices that support student engagement.
     To help prospective students and to accurately portray your campus, we want
to hear from you about your experiences with service and activism. You can do
this by spending 5 minutes filling out a survey at:

http://www.zoomerang.com/recipient/survey.zgi?p=WEB2G3WTFW9B

Please respond to this survey by May 7, 2004.

Thanks for your help!
Campus Compact and the Princeton Review
