Universum Survey Reminder:

Take the James Madison University Universum Student Survey – enter to win scholarships/internships.

Voice your opinions at:  http://unisurv.co/USSS

Because James Madison University students are highly sought after by employers, your opinions are extremely important and valuable sources of information. In fact, fewer than 10% of universities nationwide are asked to participate.

Top companies, including many that recruit James Madison University students, base their recruiting strategies on Universum’s research so it will truly benefit you and others on campus to share your opinions on recruiting and employers. Companies will only see the collective results, and your participation/identity will be kept confidential.

In appreciation for your time you will receive a free copy of the WetFeet Insider Guide: Brand Thyself (a $15 value!)  

All respondents are also entered into the Universum 2011 Sweepstakes for a chance to win:
•             A $1,500 Scholarship
•             One of seven Universum internships in Stockholm, Shanghai or New York City

Take the survey now at:

It’s your life, your future and your world!
