A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
Lees-McRae's LUMINOSITY: The Lees-McRae College Belonging & Inclusion Survey was developed by the Office for Inclusive Excellence and the Office of Institutional Research.The Chief Diverisity Officer (CDO) received approval from Harvard University to use its Pulse Belonging Survey Instrument as the foundation for the LUMINOSITY Survey. The CDO then worked with the Director for Institutional Research to structure the survey in a manner appropriate for and consistent with institutional context. The survey was administered to the entire campus community in February 2022. IPEDS and admissions data (student assessment), and HR data (faculty and staff assessment) are used.
Administered the first college-wide inclusion and belonging survey. CDO worked with our exceptional Director of Institutional Research, Taylor Barry, to administer this survey, known as LUMINOSITY: The Inclusion & Belonging Survey at Lees-McRae College. Results were available during the last week of February and will be shared on the Office of Inclusive Excellence webpage soon. We hope more members of the community will participate in the survey over time.
