On-line Orientation!

Going abroad? Complete the mandatory study abroad orientation on-line. Following the completion of the orientation, you will have an opportunity to participate in a research project based in the Psychology Department at the UW. The study includes the completion of two brief online surveys that look at students' study abroad experiences. These surveys will take you approximately 15-25 minutes each to complete. You will receive $10 for completing the first brief online survey. If you complete this survey prior to your trip abroad, you will have the opportunity to complete an additional survey once you return. You will also be compensated $10 for completing this follow up survey and be entered into a drawing for a $100 Visa gift card. More information at the end of the orientation.
