Climate survey on diversity and equity open through March 28

UAF has partnered with the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium to administer a diversity and equity campus climate survey to the entire UAF community. This survey asks students, faculty, staff and administrators about their perceptions and experiences related to diversity, inclusion, discrimination, and harassment at UAF. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and responses are anonymous. A survey invitation email was sent on Feb. 14 and a reminder was sent Feb. 28. Each participant was sent an individualized link that cannot be shared with others. Search your email for uaf@hedsconsortium.org to find your link. The survey will close Tuesday, March 28 at 11:59 p.m.
