Campus Climate Survey |
La Salle is committed to ensuring that our campus has an inclusive, engaging, and supportive environment, as a result, today we are launching a Campus Climate Survey to students, faculty, staff, and administrators to develop a better understanding of the extent to which our campus climate supports diversity and equity. The survey usually takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. We are grateful for your cooperation and willingness to provide information that will help us better understand La Salle’s climate. Please complete the survey by Thursday, April 18.
The survey is being administered by an independent organization, the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS). They will exclude any personal information, such as your name, email address, student or employee identification number, and your IP address, from the data they send to our institution. The information you provide will be used to inform and improve support, policies, and practices at La Salle.
Students that complete the survey have the option to enter their name for a drawing to win SFA dollars. We will award $20 in SFA funds to two students every week the survey is active (3 weeks). A total of 6 students will be selected.
