Share Your Experience: Experiential Learning Survey

Participate in an anonymous survey to share your perspective on experiential learning programs at Peabody! It should take no more than 10-15 minutes. Your input will inform potential future updates and improvements to Peabody programs. 

Christina Manceor is conducting this study as part of her work with Peabody LAUNCHPad, and some aspects will contribute to my doctoral research. This research is approved by the JHU HIRB (protocol no. HIRB00018147). All participants must be current Peabody students over 18 years of age. Please reach out to cmanceor@jhu.edu with any questions.
