Spring 2022 Student Pulse Survey Results

We are administering two Pulse Surveys to undergraduate and graduate students during the Spring 2022 semester. Each survey will take approximately 1-5 minutes to complete and will ask about well-being and a few special topics. The goals of the Pulse Surveys are to give quick and actionable information to leadership in order to address student needs. Results will be posted here when the surveys end. See below to explore the results from previous semesters' Pulse surveys.
