11. SEI Role Play
Today we have a final engagement questionnaire to learn about your experiences while attending school this year. Students' feelings and opinions of their educational experience have a tremendous impact on their academic engagement and motivation. This survey is an opportunity for student voice to shape the AmeriCorps Promise Fellow program. Your honest answers will be used to help us serve you and other students better.
