STUDENT AFFAIRS 16 ANNUAL REPORT were sent to athletic coaches, academic advisors, and more than 100 student leaders to explain and promote the survey. Paper posters and digital signage were distributed throughout campus. Additional social media materials were distributed across campus and student organizations. Thanks to the Student Government Association, every tenth student who completed the survey by March 16 received $10 in Thunder Bucks. A temporary course entitled “Complete the Campus Climate Survey” was added to every student’s D2L account. When students clicked on the “course,” they learned more information about competing the survey. The “course” disappeared on March 17 and had no bearing on a student’s academic record. The Taskforce recommends administering the Skyfactor Campus Climate Survey every two years going forward. While it is tempting to select a new survey every couple of years, the Taskforce recommends the ongoing use of Skyfactor to build longitudinal data that will more accurately track changes in perception of campus climate over time.
