The Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) consortium alumni survey was administered at St. Olaf College during the spring semester of 2008 to the Class of 2002. The survey* addresses a variety of topics about students’ educational, co-curricular, volunteer, and professional experiences during and after their time at St. Olaf.
Of the 490 alumni invited to participate, 113 responded for a response rate of 23%. This response rate is lower than in previous administrations of the survey, and results may not be fully representative of the group invited to complete the survey.
