Dear Fellow Faculty,
Many thanks to all of you who have already completed the faculty survey being administered by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI).
Participating in this survey is an important opportunity to provide feedback to Western about our experiences and practices as teachers and scholars. The survey covers topics including diversity climate, sources of stress and satisfaction, pedagogical practices, research and service activities, and connection between classroom learning and practices in the local and global community.
I encourage you to complete the survey, and to answer the questions openly and honestly. Your perspectives are crucial to understanding Western’s climate, and to informing future paths for the University.
The survey will close on March 22nd. If you have questions that you need answered before feeling comfortable taking the survey, please share them in the form below. I will update this post with answers. Many thanks for your participation in this important process.
Sincerely,
Kristen Larson
Faculty Senate President
