Hi all!
I'm currently a graduate researcher in the Clinical Psychology program at UTRGV and collecting data for a survey to learn more about college students from the RGV and their experiences adjusting to college as Freshmen or Sophomore. The survey should take between 20 – 30 minutes of time, and responses will be anonymous meaning we cannot link responses to any participant.
To be eligible, students must (be):
1. 18 years of age or older
2. Identify as Latinx or Hispanic
3. A resident from the Rio Grande Valley
4. Attending a four-year university outside of the Rio Grande Valley (e.g., UT, UTSA, Baylor, out-of-state, etc.)
5. A first or second-year college student
If students do meet the requirements above and participate, they can enter a raffle to win a $25 gift card for Amazon. If interested in participating, please click the link below and carefully read through the consent form.
