Take the Undergraduate Biology Department Leaders Survey
AIBS is exploring the feasibility of developing an initiative that would support biology/life sciences department leaders. Inform AIBS by taking the 10-question online Undergraduate Biology Department Leadership Survey found at [http://www.aibs.org/education/education_leadership_survey.html.](http://www.aibs.org/education/education_leadership_survey.html) Your responses will allow us to determine what would be most effective to meet the needs and challenges facing those leading change efforts. The deadline for all responses is October 26th, 2012.
