NDWC Detroit Alumnae Survey

When we first decided to reach out to our local female grads, we realized that we needed to gather some direct input on just what everyone's interests were. This was in the pre-Irish Online days, so we ended up sending out a snail mail survey to a mailing list provided by the University. Each grad received a cover letter, a one-page questionnaire, and a stamped, addressed return envelope. We asked for three types of information: 1) Demographic data (class year, number of children (if any), etc.), 2) Contact info (email and postal addresses), and 3) a show of interest in a list of activity ideas (ranging from happy hours to religious retreats to mentoring). We also left plenty of room for write-in suggestions. Over 230 women responded, and their answers were used to help steer the direction and focus of our ensuing efforts.
