Please take a moment to share your feedback on the QuestionPro survey platform. Researchers across the College have reported a range of challenges since its implementation as a replacement for Qualtrics, including concerns about data loss, limited survey design functionality, and difficulties obtaining timely technical support from the vendor.
To better understand the scope and impact of these issues, we invite you to provide your feedback. Your input will help the College work with EITS to identify concerns, advocate for researchers’ needs, and explore potential solutions. This survey is anonymous, and all results will be reported only in aggregate form.
