Help with a RESEARCH Initiative ! Win a $25 giftcard!

Dear UC Berkeley Undergraduate Student,

My name is Arlyn Moreno Luna, a fourth year doctoral candidate in the Berkeley School of Education at Cal. I am currently conducting a research project that examines undergraduate students’ adjustment at UC Berkeley and students’ experiences. I selected five components of adjustments that highlight their importance in measuring students’ adjustment levels. The components are academic belonging, student agency, community, faculty and academic advisor support, and equity. Help advance our understanding of how undergraduate students adjust to college. Your voice is needed!

This project has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB Protocol # 2022-09-15602) at UC Berkeley. It takes about 15-20 minutes to complete the survey. If you would like to take the survey, please click the link below. At the end of the survey you can choose to enter a drawing to win a $25 digital gift card as a token of appreciation for completing the survey.
