A brief description of how and when the cultural assessment(s) were developed and/or adopted:
The Zilkha Center for Environmental Initiatives developed a short survey relating both to the issues that are most important to the campus community (i.e. carbon emission reduction, transportation, waste diversion, construction impacts, investments, toxic materials, wetland conservation, equity, environmental justice, outdoor chemical use) and the approaches by which we should be improving on these issues (i.e. through educating campus community, through operational improvements, through demonstrating leadership, or through sharing information with peers).
This was administered during the Spring of 2018.

A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
The assessment was administered via an online survey. It was sent on an all-campus announcement platform and also targeted to many listserves. To make it representative we also conducted in person surveying in the student center in order to reach beyond a self-selecting crowd and to reach community members we don't usually communicate with.
