Participate in research on Ph.D. alumni outcomes

My name is Anthony Schmidt and I am a doctoral student in evaluation, statistics, and measurement at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I am contacting you because you have graduated with your PhD within the last three years. I am currently conducting a brief survey on conference travel and PhD employment outcomes and was hoping you would be willing to participate. 

The survey should only take 10-15 minutes. The results could help graduate students understand the importance of the number of conferences and types of conferences they should attend. You do not need to be employed to participate.
