The entire campus community (students and employees) directly or by representative sample

A brief description of how and when the cultural assessment(s) were developed and/or adopted:
UWRF conducted a sustainability culture survey in April 2019 with the anticipation that the survey is completed every few years. As we have not yet done a follow up survey, we are listing this as without a follow-up assessment at this time. The assessment includes demographics, awareness of current UWRF sustainability initiatives, desired UWRF sustainability initiatives, and people's values, behaviors, and beliefs as they relate to campus sustainability.
UWRF also participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) each year. UWRF specifically participated in the Sustainability Education Consortium in 2019.
