> Dear Colleagues,
>
> I am reaching out on behalf of the UC Undergraduate Academic Advising
> Council <https://sites.google.com/g.ucla.edu/ucuaac/home> (UCUAAC) to
> invite you to participate in a brief survey about your experiences as an
> academic advisor or student affairs professional within the University of
> California system.
>
> As advisors, we play a vital role in student success across the UC — yet
> there is limited systemwide data that captures who we are, what brought us
> to this work, and how supported we feel in doing it. This survey is an
> opportunity for us to tell our story in our own words and to ensure that
> our collective experiences are heard by campus and UC Office of the
> President (UCOP) leadership.
>
> The survey takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and asks
> questions about:
>
>    - How long you have worked in the advising field
>    - The level of position you currently hold
>    - What drew you to the advising profession
>    - Whether you are considering leaving the field within the next five
>    years
>    - Whether you feel valued and supported by your campus and the UC
>    system
>
> *Your participation is completely voluntary.* Your responses are
> anonymous — no names or identifying information will be collected — and all
> results will be reported in aggregate. Your individual responses will not
> be shared with your supervisor, your campus administration, or anyone else.
> Whether or not you choose to participate will have no bearing on your
> employment or any professional relationship.
>
> To participate, please click the link below. Before the survey begins, you
> will find a Study Information Sheet that provides additional details about
> the survey and data collected. Completing and submitting the survey will
> indicate your willingness to participate.

> a time that is convenient for you.
>
> Please share this survey link with advising staff and student affairs
> colleagues at your campus who may not have received this message directly,
> so that we can capture as broad and representative a picture as possible of
> our advising community.
