Dean,

I updated the survey sections according to my scratchy notes. For those of 
you who were on the call last week, please trust but verify. ;-)

Best,
Ann

These are the survey categories that I had:
 1) - Prospective (Distance) - Admissions primary audience

 2) - Matriculated Students - Registrar primary audience
      - Distance
      - On campus 
         (Keith and Wisc crew, Ken)

 3) - Resetting passwords - Registrar/IT primary audince 
      - Distance
      - On campus
        (Ann, Brendan, Mark)

 4) - Overall Comments 
      - Does your process secure enough? 
      - If not? What applications are you concerned about.
