Children of Immigrants Survey for Erin Nolan
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. I am a PhD student in education, and your answers will be used as part of a class research project for "Children of Immigrants," a course I am taking at Washington University in St. Louis. To be used for the project, the survey must be completed by **Sunday, March 22, 2015**.
The goal of this questionnaire is to understand some of the basics of your experience as a "child of immigrants," while acknowledging that this may mean many different things to different people. In light of this, please feel free to ignore any questions that do not apply,  be patient with questions that seem redundant, and modify questions/clarify answers whenever appropriate.
You may skip any question for any reason.
Feel free to contact me at enolan@wustl.edu, or add comments at the end of the survey. Please also feel free to pass this survey on to other children of immigrants who may be interested.
Thank you for your help!
-Erin
