<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Good morning UCUAAC Members,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Please share the below email with your team and colleagues who may not be on this listserv. Plus, of course,
please complete the survey yourselves.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Thank you!<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Dear Colleagues,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am reaching out on behalf of the
<a href="https://sites.google.com/g.ucla.edu/ucuaac/home" target="_blank">UC Undergraduate Academic Advising Council</a> (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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The survey takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and asks questions about:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">How long you have worked in the advising field<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The level of position you currently hold<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">What drew you to the advising profession<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Whether you are considering leaving the field within the next five years<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Whether you feel valued and supported by your campus and the UC system<u></u><u></u></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Your participation is completely voluntary.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">
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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
