Union MSA

10/30/2017

Greetings all,

The OSU research team that is coming to Union to gain further understanding about our campus climate around worldview difference will be on campus Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. They are hoping to include 25 students, sophomores or higher, in one of three focus groups. One is Tuesday at 6:45 pm in Sorum (apple strudel served), one is Wednesday at common in the Unity Room (box lunches served) and the last is Wednesday night at 5:30 in the Unity Room (build your own taco's served) You will also get a $15 Amazon gift card for participating. Here is the link to sign up.

(So far we have only 9 participants). This study is an important step for the IDEALS (Interfaith Diversity Experiences and Attitudes Longitudinal Survey) and will help us at Union to grasp some of our challenges and strengths.

I know it is nearing the end of term and that you are busy. I set two of these up at meal times so you can grab something to eat while you talk with these folks. Your input is important.

I thank you in advance for considering your help in this research,

Viki
