Subject: 36-303 Survey of CMU undergraduate prospects From: erika tang Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:47:33 -0500 To: jm5p@andrew.cmu.edu CC: David Zimmerman , Je Woo Sun , Zhiyi Tang , brian@stat.cmu.edu Dear Ms. Mancuso, My group and I in 36-303 (Survey, Sampling, and Society) hope to conduct research concerning the pursuits of undergraduates of CMU once they have left the university. To do so, we would need access to data published by the Career Center such as that about last year's graduating class at http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/students_alumni/post-grad-survey/index.html. We hope to take a random sample of five years ranging from 1995 to the present in order to obtain data that is free from the job market fluctuations of any individual year. Each member of the group has completed the CITI course on the ethical treatment of survey subjects and the proper protocol when conducting a survey. We are also in the process of submitting an IRB form to our professor, Professor Brian Junker (brian@stat.cmu.edu) Could you give us access to this data or direct us to someone who regulates the release of this data? -- Sincerely, Erika Tang
