    <h5>The survey is still open, and we need your opinion! </h5>
    <p><br>The University System of Maryland is conducting a survey to understand current attitudes toward and opinions of public higher education in Maryland and how it is perceived to impact the state. Because you are a student at a USM institution, we would value your participation. Please consider taking a few minutes to share your opinions by taking the survey.</p>
    <p><a href="https://se1.decipherinc.com/survey/selfserve/55d/260301?list=1" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>TAKE THE SURVEY</strong></a></p>
    <p>The survey is being conducted by our marketing partner, BVK, on our behalf. Your responses will remain anonymous and will be automatically submitted to BVK and analyzed only in aggregate with others.</p>
    <p>The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete and, as a thank you for participating, you will be given the opportunity to enter a drawing for a chance to win one of fifty $25 Amazon.com gift cards.</p>
