2021 myGVSU Climate Survey
Thank you for your participation in the 2021 Climate Survey! Updates will continue to be provided here.
In late Fall 2021, all students, faculty, and staff members were encouraged to participate in the myGVSU climate survey online, to confidentially tell us what it is like to learn, live, and work at Grand Valley State University. This was the seventh climate survey to be conducted at Grand Valley. It helps to support the goal of providing a rich, inclusive learning and working environment that supports our Reach Higher 2025 commitment to creating a culture of educational equity.
