To help encourage participation, the survey was also promoted in college-wide student and staff e-news and a message was sent to all staff and faculty encouraging their participation and asking them to encourage student participation. Staff and students who participated were also given the opportunity to enter a draw for one of five $50 gift cards from the Campus Store (3 for students, 2 for staff). We received responses for 1,102 responses from students and 650 responses from staff across the college.
