Attention Classes of 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007!
An important survey has been sent to you on behalf of Coastal Law
Please take the time to respond to this brief survey. We strive to continue to improve the services and counseling that we provide for our students and graduates. This survey is an important data gathering tool for us in making decisions that affect current students and future generations of alumni. The information we are requesting is sensitive, though it will remain confidential. Your responses will be anonymous, and they cannot be traced back to you. We will only know you are among the overall pool of survey respondents.
Every alumnus who responds will receive a $25 Amazon gift card and be entered to win one of three Apple iPads being given out to each of the four classes being surveyed. Thank you again for the outstanding work you do across the country and for your continuing support of Coastal Law.
