Participation was voluntary.

A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
The nearly 1,000 WWU students, faculty, and staff who responded to the survey said that we have some work to do when it comes to fostering an inclusive environment, building a broader sense of belonging, and making our people feel more valued. Although the results from the survey have informed our understanding of the campus climate, it is necessary for us to broaden our knowledge and understanding of the campus climate and where we are in our ADEI work to ensure that we are intentional about the work ahead. Building off the survey, the Office of Equity conducted a series of listening sessions last fall to engage the university community in dialogue about our lived experiences.
