A brief description of the campus climate assessment(s) :

“Campus climate: “All of the national student and faculty surveys that we administer include items that tap campus climate. In spring 2015, all seniors received the HERI Senior Survey which has items that measure diversity learning, campus climate, and intercultural beliefs. We routinely disaggregate results of these surveys to compare responses for subgroups of students on campus. (Dr. Kathleen Harring)

This can be found on page 5 and 6 of our Diversity Plan.
