From Marissa Corvallis, an invitation to participate in student
research:

I wish to invite C-U Autism Network members to participate in my
summer research study 'Evaluating the Customer' Experience.

Participants will receive $75 for sharing their time and insights
with this study. In addition, they will receive $25 extra for every
5 people that they refer!

I am gathering a discussion group of diverse community members
throughout Champaign-Urbana to share their unique perspective about
life insurance. This project does not endorse any company or policy
and I am not aiming to solicit information. This project simply
forms my summer consumer research.

Date: Thursday July 17 and Thursday July 24

Time: 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00pm.

Place: University of Illinois Research Park

The study involves 'mystery shopping' different companies for term
life insurance and sharing the experience in a discussion group. The
groups will meet Thursday July 17 and July 24. Participants need
only attend one 60 minute session at any of the meeting times on
either July 17 or July 24. I am recruiting 25 participants for each
meeting day.

Just 3 Simple Steps:

Pretend to shop for term life insurance
Record the experience
Attend one group meeting
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you
are interested in participating in the project. You can reach me via
email at mc34457@... or by phone at 278-6939.

You can RSVP with a date and time as soon as possible, as the dates
are quickly approaching! I look forward to hearing from you. If you
know of any others who would also be interested, feel free to share
the information.

Sincerely,

Marissa Corvallis

Please Note: I am a student in Advertising, pursuing graduate
studies within the College of Media. The name of my study
is 'Evaluating the Customer Experience' and the study forms my
special topics course which I submit at the end of the summer to
Professor Steve Hall. The study involves term insurance solely on
parents; no children are involved. The study pertains to a diverse
group of families throughout Champaign-Urbana and aims to discover
different factors that they consider when purchasing life insurance.
