The 2023 Graduate Student Experience Survey is your chance to play an essential role in shaping the future of Georgia Tech. 

On October 3, every graduate student will find an email in their student inbox from “Qualtrics” with the subject line “2023 Graduate Student Experience Survey.” This email contains a unique URL, which provides direct access to the survey. 

“We strongly encourage you to participate in this survey,” said James Black, senior academic professional in the Office of Graduate Education. “Your input is crucial in helping us understand the current state of graduate student life and identify areas for improvement. Together, we can work towards making Georgia Tech an even better place for graduate education.”

The survey is conducted once every few years to quantify various factors that impact the experiences of graduate students at Georgia Tech. This survey is incredibly important. Institute leaders will utilize this data to make strategic investments in programs, support, and resources to improve the graduate student experience in the future. 

The responses from previous Graduate Student Experience Surveys have resulted in changes such as: 

• Investments in Institute-level events like Grad Student Appreciation Week and the Fall Welcome and Picnic
• Best Practices for Ph.D. Qualifying Exams
• GT6000
• Enhanced professional development resources

All responses are confidential and will never be attributed to a specific person; results will only be presented in an aggregate form.
