POLITICAL IMPACT SURVEY - WIN GIFT CARDS!!!! (Reminder):

Hello Highlanders!

The Student Voice Committee (SVC) will be raffling off Gift Cards to Feeding America and Wounded Warrior Project!!!!

All you need to do is complete a short survey sharing your thoughts about the impact of politics and/or political discussions on your educational experience at UCR.

As a kind reminder, please make sure to complete the survey by next week on Wednesday, March 3rd, at 11:59 PM PDT in order to get your name in the raffle on time.

We strongly encourage you to complete this survey, regardless of whether or not you are invested in politics as we are simply looking to find out if conversations that were political in nature were ever present in your classroom.

Your feedback in this survey is important to helping us understand how UCR can best address the role of politics and/or political discussions in the UCR classroom to ensure that all UCR students are able to have the successful educational experience they aspire to have while at UCR.

The link to the survey can be found right here: https://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6qVoQgL2zbgNWu2.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at asucrsvc at ucr.edu.
