Hello,
My name is Tyler Borzick, and I am a psychology and women & gender studies major at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, working on my McNair summer research project with Dr. Juyeon Son (Sociology, School of Public Affairs and Global Engagement) studying how people are influenced by and learn from their parents. This post is to inquire whether you would be interested in completing an 8-10-minute survey (linked above). This research would aid in understanding how gender identity and trans identities are discussed among parents and children, and how it impacts children's levels of trans prejudice later in adulthood.
The concepts within the survey will be based on three categories: personal knowledge (e.g., There are only two genders: male and female), personal attitudes (e.g., Transgender people should be accepted completely into our society), and parental conversations (e.g., Where did you get information about trans identities when you were growing up?). The questions related to personal knowledge and attitudes will be in the form of 4-point Likert scales (strongly disagree to strongly agree), and the parental conversation questions will include Likert scale questions and open-ended, short-response questions.
If possible, the survey should be completed in an area with minimal distractions. The age requirement for participation is 18 and older.
Thank you for your time,
Tyler Borzick

Dear TRIO Alumni,

As alumni of the Federal TRIO Programs, you know how essential the mentorship, tutoring, and guidance provided by TRIO is to students' higher education success. Recently, the Department of Education proposed programmatic changes to TRIO that steer us away from our mission of college access and transform TRIO into a pipeline for employment training.

This pivot began with Talent Search and is now being implemented in TRIO Educational Opportunity Centers. It is only a matter of time before they come after each of the TRIO Programs. On top of this, the Administration has, yet again, called for the elimination of TRIO in FY2027.

Your voice is critical to assuring TRIO's future! Please join the senior leadership and government relations team of the Council for Opportunity in Education for a special meeting on Wednesday, April 15 at 5:00 p.m. ET. During the alumni community conversation, you will receive an update on the latest threats impacting TRIO and learn how you can help defend current students and programs.

Please register for the community call using link below.

We look forward to speaking with you next week

Yours in TRIO,

Kimberly Jones
President
Council for Opportunity in Education

A special meeting for all TRIO alumni to provide an update on the latest threats impacting TRIO and how you can help defend current students and programs.
