GLBTQ Student Survey
In order to better assist GLBTQ students, the Center for Diversity and Inclusion is offering students a way to self-identify using the new GLBTQ Survey. The data submitted will remain confidential and will be used by CDI Assistant Director Renee Wells to track GLBTQ student recruitment and graduation rates and to let students know about upcoming GLBTQ events. The survey is also a way for GLBTQ students to confidentially request additional information about resources or events. If you are a student who self-identifies as a member of the GLBTQ community, please take a moment to complete the survey.
