Dear CEE community,

Thanks to all 221 of you who have already done the CEE Climate Survey. That is almost 40% of the department! If you have not done the survey yet, there is still time and we want to hear from all of you. 

Our goal is a 70% response rate from the department – we are more than halfway there. Also, 70% unlocks a $500 draw prize from Apple or Microsoft. For your reference here are the response rates by group in the department. Lets try to get 70% in each group so we make sure everyone is represented.

Juniors: 55%,  Seniors: 31%, PhD students: 32%, MS students: 22%, Postdocs: 13%, Staff: 41%, Faculty: 79%

CEE Climate Survey

You will need to be logged in with your UW NetID. I have heard that this has given some people trouble. One suggestion is to log out of your browser (or use a different one) to make sure that you are signed in with your UW NetID credentials. As a reminder, the survey is anonymous and NetIDs will not be connected to your responses. The survey will help us develop actionable strategies and to monitor our progress toward a stronger and more supportive CEE community. We want everyone’s input for this! Continue reading →
