Flashlight Technology Surveys
Starting in the Spring of 2007, NC State began conducting annual surveys of NC State faculty and Students regarding the usage and experiences using key technologies at NC State. This page is where you can access the survey data, as well as learn details about how each year's survey was administered and response rates.
