For the purposes of reporting accurate and complete data to our federal funding agency, the National Science Foundation, ASSIST surveys all students, faculty, and staff annually. Included in the survey are optional questions about demographic information pertaining to race, ethnicity, gender, citizenship, and disability. All students, faculty, and staff can choose within the survey whether or not to report this information. Declining to report this information bears no repercussions and respondents who decline to report will be included in the "unknown/unreported" category. We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to complete the rest of the annual survey, so we can keep in touch, provide important updates, and report accurately on the wonderful accomplishments of our alumni.
