Let Your Voice Be Heard on the Spring 2016 All-Student Survey

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 8, 2016)  The Student Activities Board (SAB) made the spring 2016 All-Student Survey available on Monday, March 7. Students can voice their event preferences for the fall 2016 semester. Students who complete the All-Student Survey, sponsored by the SAB Market Research Committee, by March 25 will be entered to win prizes including a Fire TV stick with voice remote, Powerbeats2 Wireless in-ear headphones, Beats Pill portable speakers, Xbox One 500 GB console with Kinect bundle and a Vizio smart TV.

The All-Student Survey gives students an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions regarding event ideas for all of SAB’s committees, including eight programming committees and four promotions committees. The survey guides SAB’s event programming; without research like the All-Student Survey, events cannot be proposed to the board.

“Each year, the Student Activities Board puts out an All-Student Survey to see what types of events to bring to campus,” said Rachel Eberhart, SAB director of market research. “In the past, SAB has hosted events like Crunch Brunch, Pinterest Parties, Campus Ruckus and brought celebrities like Miguel, The Lumineers, Jim Gaffigan and Aziz Ansari because of students' feedback and opinions. We will be promoting the survey in White Hall, at the 90 and outside Bowman's Den. Everyone who completes a survey on site will be receiving a smaller prize!”

Students received the survey via email on Monday, March 7. Students can also access the survey via the SAB website and social media. The survey will close March 25. Only full-time students are eligible to win prizes, and winners will be drawn at random.

SAB brings more than 60 entertaining, educational and enriching programs that are reflective of contemporary issues and trends to the University of Kentucky annually. These programs are designed to enhance the college experience for students, faculty, staff and the greater Lexington community.
