Help NMC improve its technology and win an iPad

Nov 24, 2013 | Student News

NMC is committed to providing every student with the tools you need to succeed on your academic journey. Increasingly, these tools include digital technology used in face-to-face and online courses, technology that you may already augment with tools of your own. To help us determine how to make the best use of our technology and yours, we ask you to take 10 to 15 minutes to complete a questionnaire.

We will use the results to help us improve our technology today and build an infrastructure for the future.

If you wish to be included in a drawing for the Grand Prize of an iPad, iPad Mini, or cash equivalent, and one of six $25 gift cards to the NMC Bookstore or Sodexo (NMC food services/cafeteria), include your email at the end of the survey–note that your answers will still remain anonymous.
