Sample Survey from Mentoring Event

While objective stories tug at people's hearts and sometimes recruit volunteers and/or money, data and evaluation are essential. Below we share a survey template from the FIRST Women in STEM Reception 2016.

Adapt this for any speaker/informational event or share your own evaluation. We have added a few suggestions from the internal actual report about the event.

Thanks to Barbara Wollmershauser of Tulsa Engineering Foundation for sharing.
