Dear students,
 
Dr. Jody Rebek (LinkedInfrom Algoma University is inviting you to participate in a mindfulness research study called "Awaken U: Mixed Method Research of Mindfulness in Undergraduate Development."
 
As a participant, you will engage in weekly mindfulness practices to complete an 8-week program (which will take about one to two hours per week or as much time as you'd like), and you may withdraw your participation at any time. You will have the opportunity to help design the program by voting on your preferences for the weekly mindfulness activities. If you’re interested, you will be asked to sign the attached consent form and fill out the intake form. The consent form contains all the precautions Dr. Rebek is taking to ensure participant identity remains confidential, as well as the benefits and risks to your participation. The intake form will register you for Awaken U.
 
The minimum participants will be required to do is complete the pre and post survey, and provide consent to the use of course artifacts prepared.  Some participants will also be invited to participate in an interview and focus group at the end of the program if they consent.
 
Please contact awakenu2021@gmail.com if you have any questions or are interested in participating.
 
Thank you
