Hello,
My name is Michael Kantor and I am an undergraduate Exercise Science major at Augsburg College. I am writing to invite you to be a participant in my study: Physical Activity Levels and Motivation in Urban Midwest College students, faculty and staff. This research is funded by URGO Summer Research Program and the Northland Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine Student Research Grant. Dr. Ana Ribeiro, Assistant Professor of Health, Physical Education and Exercise Science will be mentoring me during this project.

If you agree to participate in this study, you will be asked to fill out a short anonymous one-time survey about physical activity participation and motivation. You will also have the option to participate in an additional in-person fitness assessment that requires a 30 minute visit to Kennedy Center 309. You will be compensated upon completion of the survey with a $5 Target gift card and upon completion of optional fitness assessment, another $5 Target gift card.

If you are interested check Augsburg email inbox in the coming weeks for the questionnaires and optional fitness assessment. Thank you for taking the time to consider the participation.
