A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
All active faculty and staff members (excluding student workers and temporary employees) with valid email addresses were invited to complete the Employee Climate survey this spring. Human Resources provided a list of current employees (including adjunct faculty who taught within the past year). Overall, 1,594 employees were invited to complete the survey. The online survey was emailed to all 1,594 employees’ CLC email accounts on January 28, 2016. Weekly reminders were sent in order to encourage as much employee participation in the survey as possible. The survey was closed on February 29th. Overall, 851 employees responded to the survey (a response rate of 53%). Nearly 70% of staff and FT faculty members and roughly 37% of adjunct faculty members responded to the survey. Final survey results were weighted for analysis to ensure that the results are as representative of the actual employee population as possible.

85.3% Agree that "CLC demonstrates its commitment to sustainability"
75.4% Agree that "Environmental efforts at CLC make me proud to work here"
91.1% Agree that "It is important for CLC to continue its efforts in sustainability"
