FGCU’s Needs Your Help!

As a part of FGCU’s Coronavirus Economic Impact Project, the FGCU Regional Economic Research Institute is administering a follow-up survey to RERI’s Coronavirus Economic Impact Report. This survey will be available through next weekend.

Take the Survey:  https://fgcucob.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1SlgJC1EUWS0f6l.  

The initial survey, which was sent to you all a few weeks ago, led to this report in which they established a benchmark of economic conditions in Southwest Florida for the last week of March. The institute plans on updating this benchmark for the last week of April, and then again in May and June.


Additionally, The Lutgert College of Business has organized two Virtual Panel Presentations happening next week. 

Participation is limited, and registration is on a first come first serve basis.
