Graduate Students,


I am an undergraduate student at Winthrop University 
majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in 
Computer Information Systems, and I am currently working on 
a research project for the McNair Scholars Program. I am 
interested in the current condition of computer science 
related undergraduate programs and the ways they can be 
improved to promote diversity and retention. Therefore, the 
overall purpose of my research is to identify and explore 
the common variables that motivate students, particularly 
women and minorities, to pursue graduate study within the 
field. I will be collecting my data through the use of an 
online survey, and I am asking for your assistance in doing 
so. I would like for everyone to participate, despite your 
race or gender. I understand that you are probably busy with 
other things, but I am only asking for about 10-15 minutes 
of your time. If you decide to participate, which I hope you 
will, please be sure to read the informed consent located on 
the first page of the survey before you begin. Your time and 
input would be greatly appreciated. Here is the link to 
access the survey:

Thank You,
