The following request is from a UAA student doing a research project. Please participate if you can: Dear fellow UAA student, My name is Bryan Arnold. I am a journalism and public communications student here at UAA. I am conducting a study for my JPC research class and am inviting you to participate in a short survey about the use of social media by UAA students to follow the 2012 U.S. presidential elections. If you do decide to participate, you will answer a short 10-15 minute survey. The survey is completely confidential and voluntary. You can choose whether or not you want to be in the study. Students who decide to participate will be eligible to win a $25 Amazon gift card. If you would like to participate, please follow the link at the bottom of the page.
