Informed Consent

Thank you for considering participating in this study. We are interested in exploring your advising experience over the last year. This survey will ask about your advising experience, how your advising has changed, and suggestions for future training. This survey will ask you 6 Likert-Type questions, 5 demographic questions, and 6 short answer questions.  We expect this survey will take you about 10 minutes to complete. You may elect to answer or not answer any questions.  While this is no direct compensation for this study, your answers will help us identify how academic advising may have changed and how we can support your advising in the future. You may also elect to enter your email into a drawing for three $50 amazon.com gift cards at the end of the study. Your email will be collected in a separate document via Microsoft Forms.
