 merger survey


As merger discussions between NSAC, the Province of Nova Scotia and Dalhousie University continue, we want to keep you informed, as well as hear your input and perspective. Within the next week, we will be distributing a merger update via email, along with a brief online survey.

 

This survey will take three to five minutes to complete. We hope you will take the time to respond.

 

Results will be used by NSAC and the Alumni Association to help us inform those directly involved with the negotiations, of the feelings and concerns of alumni.
