Southwestern needs to hear your voice!

We want to learn more about the sense of community that people at Southwestern experience so that we can promote an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. To this end, we are inviting our entire community – students, faculty, staff, and administrators – to take a short survey on this topic. I hope that you will take the anonymous survey and share experiences that have encouraged or discouraged your feelings of connection to the Southwestern community. The survey will be offered in Spanish and English.

You will be receiving a final invitation to take the 10 minute survey on Friday, November 21. The email is from southwestern@hedsconsortium.org. 

If you would like to review the results from last year's survey, you can find the report on the Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness website:  https://www.southwestern.edu/institutional-research/faculty-surveys-reports/
