The following survey is intended to help the Emerging America project better understand the make-up of its participant population. This will enable us to fine-tune our program offerings, and in particular the Summer Colloquia, to most ideally fit your needs. We will analyze this data in aggregate to determine an overall picture of the group of project participants. We will not track the responses from individual participants, and therefore all of your responses will be anonymous.
