In an effort to improve services to Master of Public Health students the Library is conducting a short survey. Your input will help us purchase more appropriate resources, offer targeted training sessions, and better meet the needs of a multi-cultural cohort of students. 

All students who complete the survey will be entered into a draw to win one of four $25 gift cards to the U of S bookstore!

The survey can be found here: http://app.fluidsurveys.com/surveys/melinh/public-health-students-information-needs/
