Dear Campus Community,
Towson University will be participating in the Personal and Social Responsibility Inventory (PSRI): Many of you will receive an email asking you to respond to a campus-wide survey assessing our climate for promoting personal and social responsibility on five dimensions. This online survey was created by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).
I am asking you to take time from your busy schedule to complete this survey. Please watch for the email, which will contain instructions and a link to the web survey. If you have questions or concerns about our participation in this national research study, please contact Christopher D. Jensen, Ph.D., at cjensen@towson.edu, or ext. 4-4146.
You can also contact Towson University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) by email: irb@towson.edu (approval number: 16-A066). If you have questions about the survey itself, please contact the researchers at Iowa State University’s Research Institute for Studies in Education (RISE) at psri@iastate.edu.
Participation in the survey is completely voluntary and you may choose not to answer any question with which you are uncomfortable. However, broad participation by students, faculty, and staff will greatly improve the usefulness of the survey data.
Sincerely,
Christopher D. Jensen, Ph.D.
Director, Civic Engagement & Leadership
