If so, then you are perfect for this study. Volunteers will participate in three focus group sessions during the 2009-10 academic year. At the focus groups, you will receive free food and beverages and be entered in an opportunity drawing for a $25 gift card from the UCSD bookstore. You will be asked to participate in 3 (90 minutes each) focus groups during the 2009-10 academic year.
 
Our colleague and friend, Greg Toya, is examining university cross-cultural centers for a dissertation study.  As a former cross-cultural center director, Greg's experience and study will further the understanding of the influence of cross-cultural centers on students.  Please contact Greg at [email protected] or call
