<Title>First-Year STEM Majors! Complete our Study!</Title>
<Tagline>Understanding Institutional Support and Sense of Belonging</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of undergraduate STEM students and their perceptions of institutional support and sense of belonging. <strong> Over the course of the semester, you will be asked to complete two online Qualtrics surveys (one at the beginning of the semester and one at the end of the semester) that will take approximately 15-20 minutes. </strong>The survey includes questions about your perceptions of support from faculty, staff, advisors, and other personnel at UMBC, your sense of belonging in STEM, and some demographic information. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>To participate in this study, <strong>you must be an undergraduate student in your first year at UMBC. You must also identify as a STEM major (for example, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, &amp; Psychology BS)</strong>. <span>Your contribution to the study can potentially transform how universities support STEM students. </span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>If you complete the survey you will be entered in a drawing to win one of five $25 Amazon Gift Cards. </strong></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>If you are interested in participating, please click on the following survey link: <a href="https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71KcF5L5EFKVF4y" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71KcF5L5EFKVF4y</span></a></strong></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>STEM students who are eligible for this study have been contacted by Allison French earlier this semester. If you have taken the survey through Allison's email, you don't have to take it again.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you have any questions, please contact Allison French at <a href="mailto:afrench2@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">afrench2@umbc.edu</a>.</p>

<Title>First-Year STEM Majors! Complete our Study!</Title>
<Tagline>Understanding Institutional Support and Sense of Belonging</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of undergraduate STEM students and their perceptions of institutional support and sense of belonging. <strong> Over the course of the semester, you will be asked to complete two online Qualtrics surveys (one at the beginning of the semester and one at the end of the semester) that will take approximately 15-20 minutes. </strong>The survey includes questions about your perceptions of support from faculty, staff, advisors, and other personnel at UMBC, your sense of belonging in STEM, and some demographic information. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>To participate in this study, <strong>you must be an undergraduate student in your first year at UMBC. You must also identify as a STEM major (for example, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, &amp; Psychology BS)</strong>. <span>Your contribution to the study can potentially transform how universities support STEM students. </span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>If you complete the survey you will be entered in a drawing to win one of five $25 Amazon Gift Cards. </strong></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>If you are interested in participating, please click on the following survey link: <a href="https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71KcF5L5EFKVF4y" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71KcF5L5EFKVF4y</span></a></strong></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>STEM students who are eligible for this study have been contacted by Allison French earlier this semester. If you have taken the survey through Allison’s email, you don’t have to take it again.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you have any questions, please let me know at <a href="mailto:afrench2@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">afrench2@umbc.edu</a>.</p>
