Profile and Opinion Inputs for Identifying and Assessing
Goals and Objectives for a Catholic Technical University

Anonymous survey; your results will not be associated with you or your name.
This data will be used for a research project, so your honest and
serious participation is requested.

Pope Francis: "Education cannot be neutral. It is either positive or negative; either it enriches or it impoverishes; either it enables a person to grow or it lessens, even corrupts him. The mission of schools is to develop a sense of truth, of what is good and beautiful." 10 May 2014

The goal of this survey is to better establish what members of the faith are seeking from a university offering a rigorous technical under-graduate and graduate education from a university that is faith friendly and committed to Roman Catholic traditions and ideals.
