This fall all 8,100 freshmen received an email inviting them to take the MAP-Works (Making Achievement Possible) survey. UT is partnering with MAP-Works to help improve student success in the transition from high school to college, as well as increase student retention in the first year. By completing the survey, students receive tailored information about university programs and resources that are available to assist them. If you are member of the class of 2016, we encourage you to complete your survey by Thursday, November 1st, and possibly win a prize!
