Thank You!

Over the last few months, over 200 individuals have participated in live and online sessions for this project. I think I can safely say that this has been an interesting journey for all of us.

Today we had the final "official" participant take the survey, so we can now move on to the next phase of the project. I say '"official" participant' because we still have several more completing the survey, but we reached our goal for the number of participants that we have been looking for.

In addition to everyone who participated, I want to thank all of the volunteers, interns, students, and faculty from the various locations around the state that helped make this portion of the project successful! We couldn't have done it without YOU, so thank you for your time, energy, dedication, and enthusiasm for this project!

As we move on to analysis for the next few months, we have several other portions of the project that will be completed, so check back in with us and see what's going on!

Final Call for Participants

It's been several months and a lot of work but we still need 15 more participants in order for us to move forward into the next phase of the project-analysis! Also, we have expanded our search to include college graduates.

We are looking for two groups of people.

First group:

1) Females between 18 and 30 years old (the details say 28, but we will take up to age 30).
2) have lived in UT for at least 5 year, and preferably attended high school here or grew up here.
3) has not attended a traditional college (i.e., UVU, SUU, SLCC) or stopped attending within three semesters.
4) has no intention of going to school in the near future.

Second group:

1.) Have lived in Utah at least ten years-preferably someone who grew up here.
2.) Between the ages of 22 and 32
3.) Attended college directly after high school and graduated within five years of starting college.
4.) Has at least a bachelor's degree.
