A brief description of the assessment(s):

UF completed a campus climate review by Dr. Shaun Harper in fall 2010, with follow-up events in Spring 2011. (http://www.ufsa.ufl.edu/news/spotlight.shtml)

The University of Florida administers the SERU survey to undergraduate students. SERU focuses on the undergraduate mission of research universities in particular. It is also a survey of the whole population, not just a sample. As a result, it enables analysis and reporting about majors, colleges, and other subpopulations about topics such as student development, academic experience, civic engagement, campus climate, global knowledge and skills, student ethical beliefs and behaviors, democraphics, art and cultural experiences.

The last time a full campus climate survey was completed (faculty and staff) was 2002. Another survey is planned for the near future.


Year the assessment was last administered:
2,009

A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:

SERU results are being analyzed as a whole and in subsets to address areas of best practices and areas for improvement on campus.
