About the Environmental Sustainability Survey
IRAPS Surveys Team has been collaborating with Professor Flora Lu and the People of Color Sustainability Collective (PoCSC) on student surveys about environmental sustainability. This is a survey of undergraduate students about student views and experiences about environmental sustainability, including participation in organizations and course-based learning about sustainability.
We have done three survey rounds: 2016, 2019, and 2022.
This survey of undergraduate students has supported a campus-wide project to gain a better understanding of student perceptions of and participation in the environmental sustainability movement on campus. Student feedback through this survey will continue to help the campus to create programming, resources, and opportunities to better address campus needs.
The survey has four components: (1) personal views on sustainability issues and their importance to the campus, (2) participation in organizations, (3) course-based learning about sustainability, and (4) personal experiences and knowledge about sustainability and the environment.
