Thank you for agreeing to participate in the Urban Eight and Appalachian Graduates Case Study. I am looking forward to meeting with you.

The case study will explore your undergraduate experience as an urban and/or Appalachian Ohio high school graduate who attended Ohio State to determine if there are commonalities in the experiences of urban and Appalachian students as it relates to student success.

Zoom Interview
I expect the visit to last no more than 1 hour. These conversations are confidential, and your responses will be de-identified in the case study analysis and final report. Prior to starting the interview, I will ask for your permission to record our conversation. The recordings to capture your story will only be used internally so the report can be accurately written.

Interview Questions
As mentioned in a prior email, click here for a question outline that will be used. This will provide you the context of the study.

Thank you in advance for your time. If you have questions, please reach out to me at (haynes.242@osu.edu) or (216-924-3102).

Best, 
DaVonti’ D. Haynes, MSW, MS
