Survey Privacy and Prize Information
DataStat, a company that is not affiliated with Columbia, administers the survey using an encrypted platform. DataStat specializes in health and public policy research and also administered the Columbia Student Well-Being Survey in 2018.
All surveys have been sent from [email protected], and students will receive a weekly email from DataStat with a link until they complete the survey.
Columbia will not see your responses. Columbia will only receive survey data stripped of any identifying information.
Note: If you forward your Columbia UNI email to your Gmail or another service, the link will not work. To take the survey, you must click the link in your Columbia UNI email.
Your participation will be confidential and individual responses are anonymous. DataStat’s platform is encrypted, and Columbia will only receive survey data stripped of any identifying information.
Everyone who completes the survey is entered automatically for weekly chances to win a $200 gift card or other prizes such as:
- Yankees, Knicks, Hamilton and Hadestown tickets
- Spa package
- Four 30-day Unlimited Ride MetroCards
- Monthly box of healthy treats in the mail for a year
- Physical fitness package (yoga, pilates, barre, cycling)
- $500 Columbia Bookstore voucher
- Electronics package
Every week, DataStat will randomly draw 27 winners from the surveys completed so far. Anyone who is not chosen for a prize is automatically re-entered in every drawing that follows, with one drawing every week. DataStat will email winners. Because everyone’s participation is confidential, only the winners will know that they were selected.
Complete early for better odds of winning a prize and for more chances to win!
