Brookings Area Survey for SDSU Students
Jackrabbits,
Please consider taking our annual survey about what you’re looking for in a job/employer, your experiences with the Brookings community, and more. This data informs local businesses and helps us plan future programs.
The survey is short, and you’ll have a chance to win some great prizes, including a Work-Ready bundle from our partner Bankstar Financial, local restaurant gift cards, and SDSU Swag! This survey will be open through May 3rd.
You have great resources available right at your fingertips to help you through your experience at SDSU, one of which is the online Student Handbook. Here you can find policies, processes, information on how to get involved and details about student services and supports to make you successful. You also have many ways to report academics and non-academics concerns. Finally, if you need assistance, know that we are here to help and our Student Ombudsperson and the University Ombuds Office are both resources to assist you in a variety of ways.
To submit an event for consideration to be featured in the Rabbit Report, contact SDSU.SACommunications@sdstate.edu by Thursday at 11:59pm. Please include all event information written similarly to the format above. All submissions are subject to the Rabbit Report Submission Guidelines.
Have a Great Week Jackrabbits!
