📣 Calling all Marquette community members–we’re asking for your input!

This week, we’re asking Marquette community members to take a survey and provide insight into their experiences living and working in Marquette.

Your input, as well as that from other community members, will help inform strategies developed toward Make It Marquette's purpose to attract and retain talent to contribute to a strong entrepreneurial tech ecosystem and a vibrant economy for all.

Please answer openly and honestly, there are no wrong answers.

🌟 Plus, we’ll add a task for you to build some community: Once you complete our survey, we encourage you to send it to at least one other community member, and invite them to take the survey, too!

Take our survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSegO38zDApNuvyIV60lc7kx_vK9G_kEYfxS267mCB0n4faZxg/viewform?usp=preview
