You may remember an email from Rochelle Calhoun that was sent last Thursday at approximately 12:18 PM. Well, I don’t. But after I was told that there were goodies to be won, I went back and realized the email contained a pretty important survey:

We are a team of students (Arielle Greenberg, Andrew Schrijver, Kate Fishman & Carolyn Eliola) from the course, SW324: Research in the Community, and are working in collaboration with Prof. Crystal Moore and Jamin Totino (Coordinator for Students with Disabilities) to implement a survey assessing the campus climate regarding learning and physical disabilities among our student body.

Right now, 3 out of every 50 students on this campus have some sort of disability. Whether they’re suffering from AD(H)D, dyslexia, or paraplegia, certain measures must be taken to assure them the ability to perform well in the classroom, as well as around campus. This survey, which was generated by the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), will provide the social work students the information necessary to make the changes that need to happen. But in order to do so, they’ll need as many people to participate as possible. Besides, as compensation for your anonymous participation you’ll get a complimentary medium beverage from either the Burgess or the Atrium. You also get the chance to win an iPod nano or a sweatshirt from the SkidmoreShop.

Click here for the survey (Username: Skidmore; Password (case sensitive): Disability). The survey is completely anonymous and should take no more than 10 minutes. You have until April 7th to complete the survey, so please do it as soon as possible. The students involved in administering the survey have made themselves very open to questions and thank you for your help!
