Hey there! 👋
PASS is here to support you, and we really want to know what you think.
Got any thoughts, suggestions, or things you’d like us to do differently? Or maybe there’s something you love about the sessions and want to make sure we keep doing? Either way, we’d love to hear it!
Your feedback is anonymous, so feel free to be honest! The more we know, the better we can make PASS for everyone. We check these regularly, so your voice can make a real difference during the semester.
Let’s work together to make your first-year experience easier, more fun, and more rewarding!
