Meyer, the executive director of HUDS, wants you to know something: they’re listening. Enter the HUDS Web site. The Web site’s feedback page is the newest way for HUDS to stay in touch with students, joining established means like comment cards and surveys. “There’s no one method of preferred communication,” Meyer says. “Everyone has their own and we try to have...
