VII.  Notes

If you would like to clarify any of the above questions, please add your notes here:

 

Once you submit this application form, you will be directed to a survey sponsored by the conference organizers. The purpose of this survey is to assess your experiences of and attitudes about studying physics at the undergraduate level as well as your career goals. The survey is completely anonymous. No one analyzing the data will have access to your name. While your participation is entirely voluntary, we hope to have the broadest possible participation; thus, your individual contribution is extremely important to the success of this effort. All information obtained through this survey will be kept strictly confidential. None of the conference organizers will have access to the individual responses, and all results will be reported in a summary form. Your responses to this survey will not be used to determine conference eligibility.

In order to compare responses to this pre-conference survey to a post-conference survey (to be provided to participants after the conference), we ask that you please provide a unique identifier in the field below, to include your mother’s initials and your own birthday (mmddyy) – e.g., sr010180 or skr010180 (the latter includes a middle initial, which may be included or omitted).

Again, you should be automatically directed to the survey once you click the submit button. Please contact Keith Rainwater (ktexas@umich.edu) should you experience any problems.
