Hello. You are being contacted because you are currently a member of Minnesota State University-Mankato community, either as a student, faculty, or staff. My name is Christopher Outzen and I am an MFA-Forensics graduate student in the Communication Studies department. Under the guidance of Dr. Leah White, I am currently conducting research on the LGBTQ peer panels and I would like your input.

You have an opportunity to participate in a survey regarding the overarching attitudes toward members of the LGBTQ community here at MSU-Mankato. Participation is completely voluntary and no direct benefits or repercussions are associated with participation. No personal information is required. The survey does ask for some basic demographic information, but you may always select prefer not to respond.

Additionally, the results of this survey would be more effective if it were to reach a wider segment of the community. Therefore, I would ask that, should you choose, please forward this survey on to those who are also members of the MSU-Mankato community.

This survey should take no more than 20 minutes.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
