2. Survey on Extracurricular Life at PSU for $50!

Hi,

 

We are a group of recent grads building an app for a better campus life at PSU next semester: we know that because of COVID-19, many things changed. And we’re here to help! We hope our app can help students enjoy their extra-curricular life more even amidst this ongoing crisis, so we’d like to hear from your group to see how exactly we can help.

If you don’t mind, could you please share this survey with your club members so that we can have a better understanding of our users’ needs? We will be raffling two $50 Amazon gift cards for those who complete this 5-minute survey: https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b4qmRsfMQeHA5Bb

Hope you and your loved ones are doing well. Thank you very much for your help!

Best,
The UniHub Team
