Dear Student:

The Rancho Santiago Community College District's International Student Center is committed to providing a wide range of student services important to the academic, career, and personal success of the international students at our colleges.  However, to help us provide relevant services, we need your cooperation in completing a survey relating to your understanding of the career/life planning needs of international students.

Please answer the following questions regarding your understanding of the career/life planning needs of international students studying in the United States.  The results of the survey will be used to guide the development of online materials, information, and links to support our career counseling program for international students.  Please rate the level of your understanding of the importance to international students of the survey topics on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = very low importance, 2 = low importance, 3 = average importance, 4 = high importance, 5 = very high importance).  Then select the five highest topics in importance and list them from highest to lowest of the five.  Finally, select three occupations of interest and rate them from highest (first) to lowest (third).

It is important for the program for this survey to be completed and returned.  Please take a few minutes to complete
this survey now if at all possible and return it in the self-addressed stamped envelope included. 

Your participation is voluntary.  All information obtained in the survey is strictly confidential.  Data collected will be used in the aggregate without providing identifying information.  Your anonymity is important to the researcher and will be safeguarded.  Thank you for your consideration in this matter.  I wish you every success in your career/life plan.

Sincerely,
