<div>
<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My name is Michael Burns and I am OU alumni (2005) and now a PhD student at North Dakota State University. I am conducting research on American and Chinese families and need your organization's help. I am looking at family communication styles of family
members in both cultures. Below you will find a recruitment email in English and in Chinese with a link to an online survey that is also in Chinese. Would you please pass this along to OU's Chinese students and encourage them to participate. They would need
to complete the survey and have at least one family member also complete this survey (mom, dad, spouse) by forwarding the email to them. They just have to be 18 or older. The survey does not take long at all. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also want to point out that sometimes, depending on your computer, the email will not show the Chinese characters. If that is the case and you need to me to send you the email to another email account please let me know.The link to the website seems
to work with any computer. I also attached a word document with the information in Chinese as well as the link. It is basically the same thing the email says. Please let me know if you can help or not or if you have any questions. Thank you!</div>
