A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs and initiatives:

The data collected in this study will be confidential and will make it possible to:
-Access empirical data that we aren’t currently collecting campuswide to build an evidence-based understanding of the campus community.
-Create a baseline understanding of our current experiences to measure change over time.
-Inform current and future initiatives to further support student success and inclusion.
-Through the participation and input from our campus, this initiative will lead to meaningful change at Cal Poly. We urge everyone to participate, so we get a complete picture of our campus experience and can make informed decisions to support the campus community and create a more inclusive culture.
