Dear Department Chair,
In collaboration with SIUC graduate students Melissa King, Lauren Jensen, and Heather Kay, I am
recruiting participants for a research project that explores the relationship between occupational choice
and personal values among doctoral students in psychology. We are specifically interested in female
doctoral students, in psychology programs, who are near degree completion. For some students
this would be their last year on campus and for others this would be their year on internship. Please
consider forwarding this message to your doctoral students who meet these criteria.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Jane L. Swanson, Ph.D.
