Survey Says ...

Earlier this year, the College conducted a survey to learn more about alumni and parent communications interests and preferences.

Seventy-two percent said they’d read or heard something in the past year that made them proud of Swarthmore, including the Bulletin (thanks!) and the College’s financial aid policies. Other items, like the decision to become a sanctuary campus, were cited as a source of pride by some and disappointment by others.

We recognize that although we have much in common as a community, we don’t always see eye to eye. But we do hear you. So Swarthmore is making a few changes.

• The Bulletin will include more current students’ voices, such as the new column “Studentwise,” as well as the increased presence of President Valerie Smith.
• The College has made it easier for alumni to connect online with one another.
• The Swarthmore website redesign will take into account requests for easier navigation and a fresh look.

Thanks to all who participated in the survey!
