UB is encouraging all faculty, staff and students to take part in the SUNY Campus Climate Survey that will launch on Feb. 15.  

The anonymous online survey asks faculty, staff and students about their perceptions of campus culture and safety, including their experiences with sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking and relationship violence. The university will use the results to better understand the prevalence of these incidents in the campus community and to inform improvements in programs.

All UB community members who are 18 and older will receive an email from climate.survey@suny.edu containing the link to the survey in the upcoming days.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the survey, regardless of whether or not they feel as though these issues impact them personally; larger response rates will increase the reliability of the results.  

In addition to taking an active role in tackling this issue, students who participate will also have the chance to win a $100 Amazon gift certificate. Upon completion of the survey, students will be provided access to a separate questionnaire to submit their name for this randomized incentive drawing. Clicking “submit” on the survey severs the link irretrievably with the incentive survey; names and email addresses cannot be tracked to responses to the climate survey.
