SUNY Climate Survey: Have Your Voice Heard

At Monroe Community College, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive work environment where all employees can fully participate, feel safe and respected, and succeed. Therefore, it is essential that we assess our campus climate. To accomplish this, we have partnered with a vendor, Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, LLC, to conduct a SUNY DEI Campus Climate Survey for all faculty and staff from November 17 to December 20. (Please note: the same survey will be administered to students in spring 2026, which will allow new students a full semester of attendance before asking them to respond to the survey.) 

You will receive an invitation email to participate. The survey will be available online and accessible to those who need accommodation. Your participation in the survey is voluntary; it will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. 

As we continue to grow, diversity, equity, and inclusion have become increasingly important priorities for Monroe Community College. As part of our ongoing efforts, the climate survey will help us recognize our achievements to build on them while also identifying areas where we need to improve our policies, practices, and initiatives. We value your voice and invite you to share your experiences and perceptions of the current campus climate with us. 

The survey results will help us identify strengths and opportunities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion on our campus. All employees are strongly encouraged to complete the survey, which will be available online from November 17 to December 20.  Hearing the voices of all members of our campus community will enable us to reflect on our current practices, both inside and outside the classroom, and make needed changes to enhance everyone’s experience on campus. 

To keep your responses confidential, no personal identifying information will be collected from you. You will receive an email directly from Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, LLC, inviting you to take part in the survey. 

Thank you for supporting this vital effort to advance our DEI objectives at Monroe Community College.
