SNAAP SURVEY – OCTOBER 2015
|
MIAD is participating in the 2015 Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) – a one-of-a-kind survey that explores the lives of arts alumni nationwide.
Alumni completing the survey this Fall will have access to a site to see how their educational and career experiences compare with alumni from across the country. See where other arts graduates live, where they work, what they earn and how their arts educations have influenced their lives.
The time spent sharing those experiences will help participating arts institutions across the country better prepare students for success, whether they stay in the arts or use what they’ve learned in other professional fields.
By verifying our alumni office has a current email address, our alumni can be sure not to miss the chance to share school and life experiences, and help to shape the future of arts education across the country and at MIAD.
