The Graduate Student Council has conducted a survey of Caltech graduate alumni about their experiences in the laboratory and with their advisors (P.I.s). Aggregate results for those P.I.s for whom we have at least 3 survey results are available below.

Please note, these survey results reflect data collected since 2001 when the survey first began. If you don't see data from your group, please encourage recent alumni to fill out the survey at: http://www.its.caltech.edu/~alumni/phdsurvey.htm.

Results are grouped into PDF files according to areas of studies, and P.I.s are listed alphabetically within each file. You need to have Adobe Reader Version 5.0 or above installed in your computer in order to view the files. You can download FREE Adobe Reader from here or go to here to download a FREE copy of Acrobat Professional provided by the institute. (Note: you need to use your ITS account to log in)

New results will only be posted in averaged groups of three surveys for any given P.I., to maintain anonymity of respondents.
