Dear Student,
My name is Aimee Adams and I am a doctoral student in counseling psychology at Lehigh University. I am writing to request your participation in an online survey about undergraduate and graduate students’ cultural background and their perceptions of college counseling services. Although all are welcome, I am particularly interested in gaining the perspectives of GLBT students, because their views are often underrepresented in counseling research.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes or less to complete. To thank you for your participation, you are invited to enter a raffle for 1 of 8 $25.00 Visa gift cards and 1 of 20 free Blockbuster video rentals. Please click on the following link or cut and paste it into your browser if you are interested in participating in the study.

Your participation is completely voluntary and you may skip any question you do not wish to answer. Once you press the submit button at the end of the survey, your responses will be anonymously store with all of the other responses. Your completion of the questionnaire will constitute your informed consent to participate in this study. This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at Lehigh University.

Please forward this invitation to any undergraduate or graduate student who you think would be interested in participating in this study.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,
Aimee Adams, M. Ed.
Doctoral Candidate
