UCCS & UCLA HERI Surveys

About the UCLA HERI & UCCS Surveys

In the 2021-2022 fiscal year, UCCS IR acquired funds from a diversity grant from our colleagues in the system and DEI offices. We proposed to administer two surveys managed by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). By joining forces with our partners, we are able to collect information about the workplace environment for staff and the learning environment for students and benchmark our results with other participating institutions. Learn more at https://heri.ucla.edu/. We intend to use the survey results to supplement and bolster efforts to investigate our campus culture, such as with the Campus Workplace and Culture Surveys and the National Survey of Student Engagement among other efforts.

Diverse Learning Environments Survey

Timelines & Response Rates

We opted to administer the Staff Climate Survey and the Diverse Learning Environments Survey in the spring semester of 2022. Preliminary results will be shared here after the surveys close (at the end of the spring semester) while we await official reports from UCLA/HERI in late summer. We also have access to immediate and preliminary results while the survey is underway (please email rmarschk@uccs.edu for assistance).
