Yes
A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
The basis for our assessment is the university’s strategic plan. As part of this plan, we conducted a Campus Climate Survey in the Spring of 2020, from which we received the results from in the fall of 2020.
We are also preparing for a Resiliency Survey for Fall 2023. The goal is to determine campus need for mental health support. Since underrepresented groups are, in a post-Covid climate, generally in need of more support, this survey is related to DEI.
