there a reason for not including these two large units? I hope not, but if so please let us know so that the leaders copied in the CES, AES, VDL know not to encourage their employees to fill this out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="background:white">(including Michele Walsh) </span>in the Norton School in CALS. As I think you've heard, we received a COVID re-entry grant from RII to conduct a study on how UArizona employees and students are navigating their work/school responsibilities
while raising children during the pandemic. It is our (lofty!) goal to reach ALL UArizona affiliates. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">fewer than five</span> <span style="background:yellow">graduate students</span>. We also have very little participation from undergraduates to date, regardless of major.<i> </i> While this does not reflect
the full range of participation (more CALS affiliates have likely participated in the very short screener, which does not ask college affiliation), we suspect there are additional caregivers whom we have not yet reached in CALS,
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">especially among students</span>. As we’d like to provide some customized estimates of the situation within each college at the end of the project, we’re hoping that you could help disseminate another recruitment
email, to help bolster representation from your college. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
