NSSE measures the quality of educational practices at Texas A&M and 
allows us to identify areas for improvement in our educational 
curricula.  This information is vital if Texas A&M is to continue to 
provide the highest quality educational opportunities and to produce 
the most successful graduates.

Over one million college students across the United States participate 
in the NSSE annually. This year, 5000 Texas A&M freshmen and seniors 
have been selected at random to take part in the survey.  If you are 
one of the selected students, you have received an e-mail message from 
Provost Jeffrey Vitter inviting you to take the survey.  It is very 
important that as many students as possible respond to the survey for 
the results to be representative of the opinions and experiences of A&M 
students.  If you have already completed the survey, Texas A&M thanks 
you.  If not, please search your in-box.  The survey will take 
approximately thirty minutes to complete.

Thank you for your help in this important matter.
