Dear FCLC,

Happy last day of classes! 

With finals coming up, I encourage you to take some time for self-care by making the most of the free activities on offer in NYC this spring! This weekend, you can race model boats in Central Park for the first time since 2019, join an Irish Dance Festival in Riverside Park, or check out The Social Sculpture Project on the Hearst Plaza at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts — all within easy walking distance of our campus. You’ll find details about these events, as well as paid summer opportunities that are still available, and much more, below my signature.

Wishing you all the best for a successful conclusion to the academic year!

Yours,

Dean Auricchio

Summary
Important Information

Important Information 
Make your voice heard!
Course evaluation forms
Online course evaluation forms are now available for you to give feedback about your course experience this spring. You should receive a link for every course in which you are enrolled.  Note that if you are in a GSB course or a graduate course, the form may look quite different from what you are used to. You have until May 3 to complete the evaluations.

This semester, Fordham is piloting a new approach to student evaluations.  Some of your courses may be evaluated using the traditional SEEQ questionnaire, but you may be asked to use a new form, the Student Experience Survey (or SES) for other courses.  Over the summer, the university will study both forms and make a recommendation for a revised course evaluation questionnaire.  Please take time to fill out all questionnaires, as your feedback is important to faculty and departments - and to the process of developing a better questionnaire to capture student feedback!

Fordham is collecting information about student experiences through a number of surveys to better inform the University’s work moving forward. Please take a few moments to complete the following surveys based on your student status. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
