A brief description of how and when the cultural assessment(s) were developed and/or adopted:
Denison and/or Denison students and faculty have administered a number of assessments that address sustainability values, behaviors, beliefs, and awareness. For the purposes of this credit, we are including a list of these assessments in no particular order of importance or depth.
The assessment is part of a broader assessment given to senior students to gauge their Denison experience and the types of things they value and find important. It is given to students in their final semester at Denison and includes a couple of Sustainability Related questions.
A survey was done in 2016 assessing students understanding of our Mindful Monday (meatless Monday) initiative and its impacts. 170 students took this survey.
We conducted a sustainable transportation survey to all students, faculty and staff gauging interest in sustainable modes of transportation and why these are important.
