Fall Action Forums

Dear 草榴社区community,

This past spring, we shared the 草榴社区Campus Climate Study results with campus through two Town Hall Meetings. The results were also posted to the Climate Study webpage. 

We have spent time over the summer reflecting on the results and compiling a list of action items that we plan to implement moving forward to improve the climate on the 草榴社区campus. As part of this process, we would like to invite members of the campus community to provide feedback on the proposed action items by attending an action forum next week. 

The forums were designed with a specific campus community role in mind, but feel free to attend any session of interest:

  • Faculty 
    Monday, September 18 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in Maucker Ballroom C
    OR
    Thursday, September 21 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. via
     
  • Staff
    Tuesday, September 19 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in Maucker Ballroom C
    OR
    Thursday, September 21 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. via 
     
  • Students
    Tuesday, September 19 from Noon to 1:30 p.m. in Maucker Ballroom C
    OR
    Wednesday, September 20 from Noon to 1:30 p.m. via


You will recall that the study covered a wide spectrum of topics including, but not limited to, overall satisfaction with the university, perceptions of being valued by the institution, campus accessibility, career advancement opportunities, benefits satisfaction, satisfaction with administrators and supervisors, classroom experiences, discrimination witnessed or experienced, and sexual harassment/assault. 

We sincerely thank everyone who has participated in the 草榴社区Campus Climate Study thus far. There was a tremendous response rate from voices all across campus, representing many varied audiences and perspectives.

Sincerely,

Cara Burnidge, Oksana Grybovych Hafermann and Kristin Moser
