Introduction
What is this survey for? The Division of Student Affairs has identified striving for excellence as one of our core values. The environment in which we work is an important aspect of living that value. This survey is designed to understand how well we are doing at creating an environment that engages and inspires our desired culture at the present time. We need you to help us learn about your own experiences, what is working well, and how to improve things going forward. Your candid feedback will be extremely valuable as we continue to assess our strengths and weakness as an organization.
Why should you participate? The feedback gathered through the survey will allow us to understand your perceptions (and frustrations). The information we receive from the survey will help us focus our efforts. While there will be other opportunities to provide input on your experience working in the Student Affairs organization, your participation at this time would be extremely beneficial to our improvement process.
