 Subject: MASSMAIL - Reminder:  Tell Us What You Think!

Hi,

This is a REMINDER: If you have not already filled out our survey, you
have another opportunity to help us out!

I am Dr. Angela Lyons at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 
UIUC is one of several college campuses participating in a research project
on student credit usage and financial knowledge.  I am working with
educators from the state of Illinois to develop a new financial literacy
program called $tudent $marts. The purpose of the program is to develop
resources and materials to help college students make informed financial
decisions related to credit usage. We need your help in learning more about
how students are using credit.

If you are 18 years of age, or older, you may participate in the survey and
that participation is strictly voluntary. You may refuse to participate or
discontinue participation at any time.  There is no penalty.  Your decision
to participate will not affect your present or future relations with the
University of Illinois.  However, by deciding to complete the survey, you
will provide us with valuable information about how credit usage may be
affecting college students today.  

Any and all information we receive will be kept strictly confidential and
will only be seen by authorized members of my staff. Data gathered from the
survey will be analyzed as a whole, excluding all references to any
individual students. Only the results of the analysis will be shared with
researchers and organizations who are interested in providing services to
educate students about credit usage and money management.

Undergraduate students are being contacted at eight campuses in the state
of Illinois as well as Purdue University, University of Missouri-Columbia,
and University of Wisconsin-Madison.  

The online survey will take you about 10 minutes to complete and you must
be 18 years or older to participate. When you are finished, you will be
eligible for a random drawing for one of three $150 gift certificates to
Best Buy.  Each student who completes the survey will have the opportunity
to compete in the drawing.  Winners will be notified by e-mail in 3-4
weeks. Good Luck!

Please respond no later than Friday, February 28, 2003. Click here to
