<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Today, the
<a href="https://upep.utah.edu/researchcollaborative/" target="_blank">Research Collaborative on Higher Education in Prison</a> launched a survey that aims to understand the perspectives and experiences of leaders in higher education regarding criminal and
disciplinary questions in undergraduate admissions. I am reaching out in hopes that you will share this call with your networks or colleagues. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Ideal participants are 18+ years of age and hold a position in Admissions, Dean of Students, Student Affairs, or are involved in decisions regarding the undergraduate admissions
process at their institution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete, depending on the relevant questions present on the affiliated institution’s undergraduate admission application. All
participants will be entered into a drawing to win one (1) of four (4) $50 Visa gift cards. The survey will be active until July 29, 2021.<o:p></o:p></p>
