Survey Corner

Surveys are a frequent part of the educational process.  In this space, we'll let you know about upcoming surveys and about resources for creating surveys, collecting and interpreting data.

Invitations will be sent soon to all UW students to complete the Campus Climate Survey (CCS). This survey is given every 3 years to help UW understand students’ experiences on our campus. The survey will be open October 14-November 4.  Results are typically available about 6 months after the survey closes.

If you work with students, please encourage them to make their voices heard by responding to the survey. If possible, avoid giving additional surveys during this time period.  And if you’re a student employee, please complete the survey.    

What do we do?

  • Assist with data literacy and usage training for College faculty or staff.
  • Consult on an as-needed basis for specific projects from CoE departments, faculty, or staff.
  • Provide resources for aligning our data use with institutional data policy and standards. 
  • Support more efficient data workflows.
