Fall 2022 Broad College Climate Survey

In Fall 2022, more than 800 Broad College students, faculty and staff participated in our first climate survey. The data collected establishes a baseline understanding of the present climate, helps inform current and future decisions about supporting a diverse, inclusive, and vibrant campus community, and serves as a benchmark against which to measure change over time.
