A copy of the questions included in the sustainability literacy assessment :
How much did your education help you in thinking about how to make sustainable decisions that consider the environmental, economic and social criteria?
A brief description of how the assessment was developed:
The Senior Survey is designed to measure the student's overall experience at our institution and includes many questions. A task force was charged to develop a sustainability question that could be included in the Senior Survey.
A brief description of how the assessment was administered:
Beginning in 1998 the Senior Survey has been administered electronically. In March an e-mail message regarding the Senior Survey is sent to all seniors on the May graduation list. The e-mail message from the Chancellor asked students to complete the online survey via an embedded link within the message. Ten days following the initial e-mail message a follow-up message was sent reminding students to complete the survey. Beginning in 2010, the Senior Survey includes questions about sustainability.
A brief summary of results from the assessment:
Students are asked to assess themselves based on entering and exiting abilities. Survey results suggest that upon exiting school, they are better able to make decisions about sustainability.
