Description

Group 6 Component 3

Our group is conducting a study for our class, Statistics of Sociology 3307. For our final project, we are examining how aware first-generation students are of resources at the Cal Poly Pomona. Because you are a first-generation student, we are inviting you to participate in this research study by completing the survey. Specifically, those who meet the exact criteria can participate in this study.

The duration to complete the questionnaire will be approximately 5-10 minutes. There is no reward for responding; in addition, there is no conceivable risk in taking this survey since, all the information is confidential. Please do not include your name in the survey, to ensure that your personal information remains private. Copies of the project will be sent to my Sociology 3307 class instructor Dr. Jose Luis Collazo Jr.

Lastly, we appreciate your time and effort that you are taking in this survey. Your support in this survey means a lot for our educational goals. The data gathered will afford useful information towards the awareness of resources at school for first-generation college students.

For this study, only first-generation who are currently at Cal Poly Pomona can complete the survey.
