Dear Staff and Faculty,
As Susan Ashley and I shared earlier this month, we are thinking about the ways we can gather valuable input from you to inform Project 2024 so we can do what we do at CC even better. An employee climate and engagement survey is an essential part of this process.
After consulting with the Staff Council chairs and the FEC, we decided to run the survey during Block 4. From Dec. 1-22, you’ll have the opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback on what you like most about CC, what you think we could improve, and how we call on our strengths – as individuals and as an institution – to achieve our goals.
Why now? While many of you were here when the college completed climate surveys in 2013 and 2015, we have many new employees in every division in the college. This is a transitional moment at CC, with new leadership and the evolving nature of the pandemic providing us with new opportunities to do things differently. As a society, we are grappling with fundamental questions about racism and structural inequities. Some are questioning the liberal arts. I want to hear from you and understand how you feel about our campus climate and how you’re affected by these pivotal issues.
With your partnership, I hope to nurture a culture of transparency and empower us, as members of our CC community, to have powerful conversations about our priorities, our challenges, and what we need, in order to do what we do better.
Keep an eye out for additional messaging ahead of the survey’s opening date and follow-up messages throughout the month of December from our survey partner, ModernThink.
I sincerely thank you for your participation in this anonymous survey.
