PGR surveys to start early next week (Monday or Tuesday if all goes well!) (UPDATED)

MOVING TO FRONT

My co-editor Brit Brogaard (Miami) and her RA have done a great job finishing the evaluator and faculty list spread sheets, and the IT professionals here should have a testable version of the survey ready for us to try out during the weekend.  If all goes well, Brit will send out the invitations to evaluators early next week (Monday or Tuesday is our goal).  We agreed to a somewhat shorter window for responses (two weeks, rather than three weeks) due to the late start date this year and our goal of getting the results out in time for students applying in the current cycle. 

UPDATE:  The IT folks are still working out certain bugs in the survey program, so we won't be able to test it before Monday.  That means, at the soonest, Prof. Brogaard will be sending out invitations on Tuesday or perhaps Wednesday of next week (Oct. 21 or Oct. 22).
