Clark University<\/a> has embarked on a landmark project, unprecedented in its scope and unique in the University’s history.<\/p>\n

“The aims of this research relate to core aspirations of the University, as articulated in the Academic and Financial Plan for 2016-2021, and the data collected has the potential to affect almost all areas of the institution. This survey is central to our data-driven strategy to achieve inclusive excellence and fulfill Clark’s promise of being a community where all can grow and thrive,” said Sheree Marlowe, chief officer for diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

The survey is one of five core components of the Academic and Financial Plan, and the current project builds upon the 2016 Faculty Morale Survey, the Consortium on High Achievement and Success (CHAS) <\/a>Campus Climate Surveys, and the 2016 Staff Survey.<\/p>\n

All members of the Clark community are being asked to participate in the current survey. Developed in conjunction with the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI)<\/a>, the survey aims to more fully reveal and better understand various experiences of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, staff and senior administrators. Several administrative offices, academic departments and student organizations are coordinating the effort in partnership with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI).<\/a><\/p>\n
