Subject: Student Volunteers will be needed for National Study Description: You may read or hear that the University of Minnesota is participating in an important national study that asks students about what encourages them to choose and persist in science, math, engineering, and computer science majors, and what influences their decisions to switch away from these majors. Students who volunteer are offered $20 for participating in an interview or focus group. The study starts on our campus Monday, October 7, 2013, and lasts for two weeks. If you get an email from your institution, an instructor, or researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison or University of Colorado-Boulder inviting you to participate in an interview or focus group, please respond and say, “Yes!” *Your input will help shape the current nationwide efforts aimed at enhancing the education of the next generation’s scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.* For more information please visit our project website at Talking about Leaving Revisited Contact us at: [log in to unmask] Contact Person: Talking about Leaving Revisited Contact Email: [log in to unmask] Website URL: http://www.talr.wceruw.org/
