Dear Colleagues, 

We are conducting a research study to explore how faculty members define and implement community-building practices in classrooms across disciplines. Your insights would be invaluable to this study, helping us understand effective strategies that foster a sense of belonging and support among students.

As part of this study, we invite you to participate in an online survey, which will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Your responses will be anonymous, and no identifying information will be collected. To thank you for your time, you’ll have the option to enter a drawing for one of three $15.00 gift cards upon completing the survey.

If you’re interested in participating, please review the informed consent form and access the survey through the link below:

Please complete the survey by September 26, 2025. If you have any questions about the study or the survey process, feel free to reach out to Marna K Winter at mwin...@elon.edu

Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to research aimed at enhancing community and belonging in higher education. Your participation would make a meaningful difference in helping us support faculty and student engagement.
