Subject: Domestic Student Survey

Hey there! My name is Alissa, and I’m a graduate student here at EIU. I'm currently working on my thesis and would love to invite you to participate in my research study exploring how domestic students at EIU engage with international students. I'm aiming to better understand these connections and how we can create a more inclusive and welcoming campus for everyone!

If you decide to participate, you’ll take part in a one-on-one interview (in-person or virtual) with me that will last between 45-60 minutes. In the interview, we’ll talk about your experiences at EIU. All your responses will be kept confidential, and your identity will not be shared with any results.

This study is open to any domestic (non-transfer) student in their junior or senior year of undergrad at EIU!

If you’re interested in participating, please FILL OUT THIS FORM (https://forms.office.com/r/CxtDvec7v6), then keep an eye out for an email from me about scheduling. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at ajsutton@eiu.edu.

Thank you for considering being a part of this research – it could have a big impact on improving campus life here at EIU. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,

Alissa Sutton
