The Daily Bruin

My name is Shelby Wilson, a fourth-year doctoral clinical psychology student at George Fox University.

I am conducting a study for my dissertation on graduate students’ resilience throughout their program. For this study, it is preferred that only currently enrolled graduate-level students participate.

This study involves filling out this Google Form that takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Additionally, there will be an optional drawing for one of 10 $5 Visa gift cards. Please click the link if you are interested in participating in this study.

If you have any questions about the study, please get in touch with me at swilson18@georgefox.edu. Thank you.
