A brief description of how and when the cultural assessment(s) were developed and/or adopted:
In January 2020 the campus community was surveyed on the effectiveness of a recent sustainability program that was launched to reduce waste, increase recycling, and make campus cleaner. The assessment aimed to measure the impact on behaviors by faculty and staff in regards to recognizing waste creation, recycling participation, and recycling knowledge.

A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
This survey was administered in three waves:
Via a scannable QR code:
- The QR code was on flyers placed on mini‐bins after sanitization over the University's 2019‐2020 winter break
‐ The survey was available from placement of the flyers through January 27th
‐There were 9 responses via the distribution method; because an unknown number of potential respondents were exposed to the QR code, a response rate cannot be calculated.
