CalMHSA Higher Education Student Survey Recruitment
In order to help maximize participation, we ask that two reminder emails be sent in addition to the initial email. The first reminder is to be sent one week after the initial email; the final reminder is to be sent one week later (two weeks after the initial email). RAND will close access to the survey one week later (three weeks after the initial email).
Below we have outlined steps to assist in the dissemination of reminders of the online survey link via email blast.
General Instructions
1) If you would like to include a campus contact for students to ask questions about the survey, please add this at the end of the text. Otherwise, students will receive contact information for RAND Corporation once they follow the link to the survey. The RAND contact is provided for students to ask questions about the survey, get help with any technical problems, or voice concerns about the survey.
2) Finally, please verify that email addresses or listserv accounts are included in the BCC line prior to sending the email. This will ensure that students are unable to see other emails in the blast and will discourage others from responding to the email.
Instructions for sending 1st student survey reminder:
1) For the subject line, please copy and past the following text: Reminder: Student Feedback Survey – Complete entry for chance to win $1000
2) For the body of the email, please copy and paste the bolded text in the box below. For the highlighted text, please customize your university and/or campus to indicate to students who is endorsing this email.
