A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
The survey was shared via campus-wide email announcements and social media. Responses were incentivized via a gift card raffle. The survey was created on a Google Form that only allowed responses from a mills.edu gmail account.
A brief summary of results from the cultural assessment, including a description of any measurable changes over time:
Most respondents ranked drought mitigation as the area Mills should prioritize improving its efforts in, and most respondents believed most lawns should be replaced with drought-tolerant natives. However, a significant number of respondents (35%) believed that lawns serve an important purpose and should be kept. Most respondents cared about sustainable activities such as biking, waste reduction, shopping locally, and reducing energy use.
