Volunteers Needed for a Class Project - only 1 hour!
As part of an assignment for a graduate level course on student development theory, we are looking for 1-2 volunteers who identify as Jewish and would be willing to be interviewed for the purpose of a class project. The project involves interviewing students from groups which are less visible in student development literature and using the stories that emerge from these interviews to help understand how various aspects of identity affect the development of students. While the assignment does not revolve around your story solely as a Jewish individual, it is an assumption that elements of this part of your identity will surface as we discuss your story. Please be assured that you will be treated with respect and measures will be taken to ensure confidentiality. The time commitment involved in volunteering would be approximately one hour for an in-person interview and a brief follow-up if necessary. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact us at anneb.schuster@gmail.com or israelae@muohio.edu. Thank you, Anne Schuster and Aurora Israelson
