Watch for alumni survey

From September to November, the Department of Alumni Relations will be conducting an alumni survey. We hope to capture some fun information about your time at Tech and learn about the careers of our alumni. In addition, you can share your unique perspective about things like how well Indiana Tech engages with alumni or how the university impacts students.

Every person who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing for prizes. There will be some fun Warrior swag, gift baskets and other interesting items. The more entries we receive, the more prizes will be given out. 

Watch for information about this survey by mail or email, on social media (follow Indiana Tech Alumni on Facebook and Instagram) and on the alumni website. All survey submissions will be completed online and the link will be shared in multiple places. This is your chance to add value and depth to the alumni story at Indiana Tech. Keep your eyes open for more information
