Survey Content:
The 2023 Belonging and Inclusion: Campus Climate Survey will be administered to the Sonoma State University (SSU) campus on April 10 - April 28, 2023. The survey will focus on your experiences at SSU and your views about diversity, equity, and inclusion in our community.
The survey asks questions about your race/ethnicity and other identities, experiences of inclusion in your work environment or academic program, and questions about potentially harassing or discriminatory behavior you may have experienced at SSU.
To ensure the campus community is operating from the same understanding of terms a Definition of Terms list was created. Please utilize the list for reference as needed. The survey is also available in Spanish which you can select form a dropdown bar at the top of the survey page. The survey will take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.
Participation:
To promote and encourage participation in the survey, SSU will select random winners from completed surveys for the chance to win $75 in Wolfbucks. (Disclaimer: if a student's financial aid award is already at their cost of attendance, the value of the Wolfbucks may require an adjustment to the student's financial aid package, therefore an equivalent incentive may be applicable). Winners will be selected throughout the survey period: April 10 - April 21, 2023. Limit one Wolfbucks card per person. In order to have a chance to win, login with your SSU credentials and complete the form.

Data collected will be anonymized, and we will not report on very small groups of participants.

Content Warning:
This survey asks questions about harassing behaviors. The nature of some of these questions could be triggering for some, so feel free to stop taking the survey at any point.
