All MHC employees received an email message from nilie_team@ncsu.edu this morning. The NILIE group has been contracted to conduct a study on the working environment at Medicine Hat College. Many of you will recognize this as the PACE (Personal Assessment of the College Environment) survey that has been conducted in the past. The last time we conducted the PACE survey was approximately 3 years ago.
As noted in the e-mail message, participation in the survey is voluntary; however, I would ask that you please take the time to complete the survey. Your feedback is important to us.
Thank you for your participation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Melinda Arthur at melinda@mhc.ab.ca or Roxanne Plante at roxanne@mhc.ab.ca.
Ralph Weeks,
President & CEO
