As the University of Vermont continues to implement its Comprehensive Inclusive Excellence Action Plan, the data collected through the Campus Climate Survey every three years is a critical metric for tracking our progress. Completing this survey demonstrates our shared responsibility to the work of creating a more equitable, just, and inclusive UVM.

The next Campus Climate Survey occurs Spring, 2025.

What is a Campus Climate Survey?

The Campus Climate Survey is a powerful tool to better understand the perceptions and experiences of students, faculty and staff, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and measure progress on key initiatives around inclusive excellence. The data collected will inform the development of strategic plans across the university aimed to achieve a more equitable and inclusive campus environment. UVM will implement this survey every three years.

How is the data used?

In partnership with the University Diversity Council and Senior Leaders, DOIE Leadership and Institutional Research will meet with all units and many departments across the institution to help them utilize data drawn from the Campus Climate Survey data dashboard to benchmark their DEI Strategic Plans. This will also inform the consultative support provided by the Division of DOIE in the development of their goals for their plans that will include actions for climate improvements three years from now when we re-assess the campus climate.
