2004 Student Diversity Climate Survey Results Released!

In the coming weeks, we will report how students responded to the questions on the 2004 Diversity Climate Survey that was administered last January.  This will be an opportunity for the campus community to learn more about how students perceive their diversity experiences at NC State University.   Both graduate and undergraduate students responded to a series of questions concerning their perceptions of the state of diversity on campus, how welcomed students felt around campus and in the classroom, the quantity and quality of their interactions with others who are different, their participation in diversity-related activities, and the impact diversity at NC State has had in their lives.  3,296 undergraduate students and 1,320 graduate students completed the survey.  Here is a preview of what’s to come:
