<Title>Survey on International LGBTQ+ Student Experiences</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>See the letter below to learn more about participating in a study aiming to understand the well-being and media consumption habits of international LGBTQ+ students studying in the U.S.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To whom it may concern,</div>
    <div>My name is Layla Chen, and I am writing on behalf of our research team at Boston University College of Communication. We are conducting a study with the help of BU’s LGBTQIA+ Student Resource Center <strong>to understand the well-being and media consumption habits of international LGBTQ+ students studying in the U.S..</strong> International LGBTQ+ students may experience identity conflict as they navigate their ethnocultural and LGBTQ+ identities, and we seek to examine this phenomenon with this national survey.</div>
    <div>The more insight we obtain beyond the BU campus, the more research rigor and positive impact we have.</div>
    <div><span>Study Details:</span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><div>15-minute online survey questionnaire</div></li>
    <li><div>Participants can enter a raffle for a chance to win a $10 gift card</div></li>
    <li><div>Survey <a href="https://bostonu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd8ztrEmEXaRmDk" title="https://bostonu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd8ztrEmEXaRmDk" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">link</a> and poster attached to this email</div></li>
    </ul>
    <div><span>Study Purpose:</span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><div>To inform higher education institutions and researchers about the unique experiences, needs, and stressors faced by international LGBTQ+ students</div></li>
    <li><div>To guide potential improvements in student support services</div></li>
    </ul>
    <div><span>Participant Privacy Protection:</span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><div>All responses are strictly anonymous and confidential</div></li>
    <li><div>No personal identifiers will be collected in the survey</div></li>
    <li><div>Email addresses collected for the raffle will only be used for the prize distribution and only be accessible to the research team</div></li>
    </ul>
    <div>We greatly appreciate your kind support. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. The study’s principal investigator Patrick Zhang can be reached at <a href="mailto:mohanz@bu.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mohanz@bu.edu</a><span>.</span>
    </div>
    <div>Thank you very much for your time and consideration!</div>
    <div>Sincerely,</div>
    <div>Layla Chen</div>
