Eastern Washington Universtiy Student-Athlete Exit-Interview

Exit Interviews are conducted for those of you who have finished your eligibility or may be leaving Eastern early due to any number of circumstances.  We would like to get your input on your experience at Eastern athletically, academically and socially.  Please provide us with as much feedback as possible so that we may be able to provide a better environment for those student-athletes that follow. All answers to these questions will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for review by the athletic department administration and other appropriate university administrative personnel.

Directions:   Please read each question carefully.  Answer the question by choosing the most appropriate response or by typing your response in the text box.  Multisport student-athletes should complete the survey from the perspective of the sport they just finished.  Remember to schedule a meeting with Associate Athletic Director/SWA, (Pamela Parks at 509.359.2511) and/or the Faculty Athletics Representative (509.359.2463) for a one-on-one interview.
