Building upon campus climate studies conducted in 2016 and 2021, Auburn University will formally and anonymously assess students, staff, faculty, post-doctoral scholars, and administrative professionals about their experiences and perceptions of campus and/or workplace climate during the Spring 2022 semester. Student Affairs and the Office of Inclusion and Diversity have partnered with SoundRocket to administer the campus climate survey to campus. SoundRocket has administered climate studies across professional industries, including other research-intensive institutions of higher education. Surveying will begin the week of March 28, 2022, and will continue until mid-to-late April. To learn more about SoundRocket, please visit their webpage. Frequently asked questions can be found at this link.
To take part in our survey, please monitor your Auburn University email account for survey distribution and reminders.
We will host one open forum for participants to learn more about SoundRocket and the campus climate survey process. This forum will take place via Zoom Webinar on:
April 6, 2022, from noon-1 p.m. via Zoom. Register for the zoom meeting here.
This study is one part of Auburn University’s ongoing efforts to foster a supportive, healthy, and inclusive campus for all members of the Auburn Family. After data is collected, executive summaries and other reporting will be generated at the campus-level. Unit-level reports will be created and distributed to senior leaders of their respective area at a later date.
