Dear HWS student athletes.

This innaugaral "e-bit" is being sent to all HWS athletes to update you on the fall Web survey and to say THANKS to all of you who participated making it such a success. During November a whopping 414 of you took the survey representing over 86% of all athletes here at HWS!

In the coming term we will be reporting back to you results from the many different questions asked in the survey. Here are just a few basic items in the meantime:

1. 60% of athletes who responded come from Hobart and 40% come from William Smith.

2. More than 4 out of 5 of you (82%) are currently planning to pursue graduate education: 12% are planning to go into law or medicine, 7% want to get a Ph.D. or other doctoral degree, and 63% are looking toward a master's or other degree program at this point.

3. Athletes taking the survey were diverse in their major academic interests: 37% are primarily interested in the social sciences or business, 21% are concentrating on the arts and humanities, 16% have the natural sciences, allied health fields or engineering as their primary interest, 11% are concentrating on the field of education, and the rest are undecided or working on an interdisciplinary major.

 

Don't forget to visit MVP Factoids on line available soon in the computer labs and in kiosks in the athletic facilities.

Best of Wishes,

Professors David W. Craig and H. Wesley Perkins
