Successful climate surveys are transparent and actionable – are you well-positioned for such an undertaking?
Many institutions sink thousands of dollars into a climate survey, yet struggle to get adequate response rates and translate the data into truly actionable results. Join us for a webcast that will teach you cost-effective and efficient strategies for navigating the climate assessment process successfully on your campus. Our expert instructors from Grand Valley State University will share research-based best practices for how to:
Work with senior leadership to build a case for and gain clarity about the value and goals of climate assessment for your institution on the front end
Roll out the survey and ensure you receive a healthy response rate
Share the results with campus constituents in a transparent and productive way
Ensure that your results translate into meaningful change at the programmatic, service, and dialogue levels on campus
You will see specific examples from GVSU’s own climate assessment work and results along the way.
Who should attend?
This webcast is beneficial to diversity and inclusion, student affairs, and institutional research professionals working in higher education who are interested in or planning to administer a climate survey on their campus. This training does not specifically cover Title IX/sexual misconduct climate surveys.
