Rectangle post with yellow background and green outline.

Words read as:
A graduate student in the Higher Education Counseling & Student Affairs program is writing a paper about the experiences and development of a college student and is hoping to interview a student who works with the DRC.
Most of this student’s research has been about autistic college students, but they would love to talk with any student working with the DRC in order to learn more about their experiences at Cal Poly.
If you are interested, you will receive a list of questions and then spend an hour being interviewed via Zoom. Your name will not appear in the paper, and you will be compensated for your time with a $25 gift card.
Please reply if you are interested, and we will send you the HECSA student’s contact information. Thank you so much! by @calpoly_drc
