Veterans,
One of our own MU student-veterans, David Shwalb, is finishing up his PhD so he can go back on Active Duty. He needs us to fill out a 15-20 minute online survey for him, and he's donating $3.33 to the MSVA for every survey completed (up to $700). That means if 210 veterans fill out this survey, that is $700 that we will have for tailgates, MSVA activities, etc. David is also giving away several $100 personal prizes, so please take the time to fill it out. The link is: http://vets.questionpro.com/
Below you'll also find an email from David, which describes his study in more detail.

Dear Student-Veteran,
My name is David and I’m a grad student and military veteran working on my dissertation research project at the University of Missouri. I looking for student-veterans attending college full-time who are willing to complete a brief internet-based survey as part of my research. I’m studying how hope, support, and stress affect veterans in higher education.
For each survey completed by a student-veteran at your school, I will donate $3.33 to your school’s Student Veterans Association, up to $700. Additionally, when you complete the survey you can also enter a drawing for one of three $100 gift certificates to Walmart.
If you are interested, please click on the survey link below. Also, if you know people who might be interested, please forward this e-mail to them. If you have access to e-mail listserves (through work or school), please consider posting this message about the study. The study link is: http://vets.questionpro.com/
This study has been approved by the University of Missouri's Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions, please contact me at 801-669-1217, or at daszq8@mail.missouri.edu. Thank you for your consideration!
Very Respectfully,
David Shwalb, M.S.

The Mission Continues: Two Months of Service
The Mission Continues: Two Months of Service
September 11th to Veterans Day: Honor our Heroes by Serving your Community
From 9/11 to 11/11, The Mission Continues will unify the country in two months of service projects to honor the fallen and our veterans. In the memory of 9/11 , Mission Continues volunteers across the nation will serve their country by serving their communities. Veterans, active duty service members, military families, and supporters will come together to help others in need. This service movement will offer various service opportunities throughout September, October and November, culminating in our Veterans Day Celebration and nationwide service projects on November 11th with Target.
Join the movement
If you are a veteran we urge you to call on your strengths and leadership skills to serve your community. If you have never served in the military, this is your chance to step forward by joining our veterans and say thank you by serving your community alongside them.
The Mission Continues believes the best way to honor those who have served and continue to serve is to live their beliefs, and serve as they have. To honor our Fellows, all our veterans and the accomplishments of Mission Continues volunteers, we will be working to strengthen communities from coast to coast. Whether you have devoted your life to service, volunteered occasionally, or have yet to lend a hand in your community, you can make a difference.
