Racial diversity, equity, and inclusion campus climate survey deadline approaching, Nov 23

As part of our ongoing efforts to cultivate a thriving academic community—one that is more diverse, equitable, and inclusive—Emory is participating in the National Assessment of Collegiate Campus Climates. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Your participation in this process is critical. Survey results will allow us not only to determine where we are as a community but also will allow us to establish strategic and actionable goals that can shift conversations around campus climate. Our current institutional DEI planning process will benefit greatly from the discussions that the survey will stimulate.

Employees who complete the survey by November 23, 2021, will automatically be entered in a weekly drawing to receive one $50 Amazon gift card or one of five $10 Starbucks gift cards. Your chances of winning depend on how many people participate. Recipients will be notified by email. You may enter the survey from here.
