The cultural assessment was developed as part of a faculty-student collaborative research project in May 2018.

A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
As noted above, this was piloted with several sections of a first-year seminar in the fall of 2018. In January 2019, it was emailed to all those classified as seniors as of December 2018 and will be conducted with all freshmen in Fall 2019 as part of New Student Orientation.
A brief summary of results from the cultural assessment, including a description of any measurable changes over time:
We just launched the assessment, so do not have any changes over time to report. Initial results indicate some key differences between responses from seniors and first-year students, but we are still in the process of analyzing the data and determining what these differences might mean for our programming moving forward.
