Dear colleague:<br>
<br>
We invite you to participate in the Joint UW-UC Study of Faculty Experiences During the Pandemic. We want to be sure we hear from you about these important issues, so please take the time to give us your thoughts soon.
<br>
<br>
We need your help to understand the challenges you have experienced related to instruction, research, and service.<br>
<br>
We are also interested in learning what resources or policy changes would be useful to reduce those challenges. Your participation in the study should take no more than thirty minutes and would consist of completing a short online survey about your experiences.
The University of Wisconsin Survey Center has been asked to administer the survey for us to protect your confidentiality. No personally identifying information will be collected about you or connected to your survey responses.<br>
<br>

<br>
If you have any questions about taking the survey, please contact Nathan Jones at the University of Wisconsin Survey Center, 608-890-4724, or
