Graduate Student Climate Survey

It is a priority for the Graduate School, Division of Student Affairs, and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to ensure an affirming climate for graduate students enrolled at the Blacksburg campus. Graduate students are invited to participate in this survey regarding perceptions of campus climate.

Feedback is especially important. The survey should take approximately 20 minutes. Note that individual responses cannot be linked to names or emails and all responses will be confidential. The survey closes at midnight March 22. The answers provided will be invaluable to the graduate student community. 

If you have any questions, contact Graduate Representative to the Board of Visitors Robyn Jones.
