A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
The Campus Climate surveys that we used focused on two core elements of campus climate, Mattering/Affirmation and Racial Learning and Literacy. These areas are key building blocks to improving other areas of campus climate. At the highest level, the results of the campus climate surveys indicate that the College is falling short and have work to do in both of these areas. Creating an environment where everyone feels they matter and providing better racial learning and literacy will build an inclusive environment that supports belonging, that fosters cross-racial engagement, and that minimizes racial stress. The results of the Survey were used to develop and actions plan on Equity and Inclusion that focuses on both of these areas. ( see link below)
