Honors DEI Survey 

The Honors Program Diversity, Equity and Inclusion council aims to be a voice to POC and marginalized communities on campus and foster a sense of belonging. By adopting a listening ear to what students have to say, our goal is to work with the feedback, DO something with the feedback and make tangible changes. This survey will help our council gage how Honors students feel about their housing options on campus. We are trying to get as much feedback as possible!
