A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
The 2019 Campus Climate Survey launched on September 25, 2019 via email invitation to all NC State undergraduate and graduate students. NC State conducts a campus climate survey every five years as we continuously seek to develop and improve a positive, welcoming culture.
The 2019 Campus Climate Survey covered topics such as satisfaction with various aspects of being an NC State student, interactions with others on campus, participation in multicultural activities and perceptions about the role of higher education.
Even further, the survey asked participants to “reflect on experiences that have shaped their attitudes about diversity, and for their perceptions of how supportive the campus environment is for diversity in general and for traditionally underrepresented groups in particular."
