SURVEYS! SURVEYS! SURVEYS!

November 3rd, 2021

Thank you to everyone who participated in this semester’s College-wide surveys!

We had a record number of employees fill out the survey regarding ٲɲDz’s Policy on Sexual Violence and a healthy response rate for the Sustainability Office’s Transportation Survey.

Feedback from the community is crucial! For the former, survey data and responses will help develop recommendations to improve the policy. For the latter, seeing how students and employees commute to the College helps us see our common carbon footprint and take steps to decrease it.
