Good Morning---

Dear Colleagues,


You are invited to participate in a research study examining the relationship between counseling students' perceptions of their cultural competence and their perceptions of their multicultural counseling instructor's cultural competence following a multicultural counseling course. The purpose of this study is to better understand how one's experience of their multicultural counseling instructor influences their perception of their own cultural competence. The results from this study could lend insight into the need for changes in multicultural training and contribute to the development of best practices in multicultural instruction in counselor education.

In order to participate, you must fit the following criteria:
-Current or previous full-time/part-time enrollment in a CACREP-accredited counseling program.
-Current or previous enrollment in a multicultural counseling course within the past year (including those currently enrolled).
Survey Link:

All participants are entitled to receive a $5 electronic Starbucks gift card. If you are interested in receiving a gift card following the completion of the survey, respondents will provide an email address where this certificate will be emailed to you. You are not required to provide an email address if you are not interested in receiving compensation.

This study is strictly confidential; information will temporarily be linked to your responses but will be removed once compensation has been provided. Total duration to complete the necessary information will take no longer than 20 minutes. Participation in this research study is voluntary. You have the right to stop at any time. If you are willing to volunteer for this study, please click on the link below which will take you to the informed consent and survey for the study.  Please free to forward this email to other counseling students/instructors.
