Study Away Feedback MayX 2023

Help Furman improve study away by taking a 5-10 minutes to complete a program evaluation. Your program directors will not see the evaluations until grades have been submitted, and your name will be omitted when we do share the information you have provided.

The information you share here will go directly to Nancy Georgiev, Director for Study Away. (Normally the information would also be shared with Caitlynne Goodlett and Paige Blankenship, too, but since they led programs themselves, I will remove identifying information before sharing any data with them as well).

Thank you!!
Nancy Georgiev
Director, Study Away and International Education
