A New "Note From Liz" | Today we released the 2021 Campus Climate student reports and I encourage everyone to look at the results online. The reports show a strong sense of overall belonging at Iowa and respect of individuals on campus. It also tells us we can improve respect with select groups, increase advisor and faculty time with students, and provide additional mentorship opportunities to our undergraduate students.
Surveys like these are a critical piece, coupled with strong relationships and ongoing conversations, for leadership to know how we are doing as a campus. It helps to tell us if we are welcoming, and if are we respecting everyone, every day. This leads me to March 29 through May 28, 2022. Please mark these dates on your calendars as we will begin an eight-week period to collect the next set of climate data, the 2022 Campus Climate Survey. | | | Wednesday, March 30, 2022, is One Day for Iowa, the University of Iowa's 24-hour online giving day.
