Upcoming SUNY DEI Survey

Dear Colleagues:

As you know, Farmingdale State College is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment where all employees can be fully engaged and feel safe and respected. To best ensure we are fulfilling this commitment, it is important that we periodically assess our campus climate. To that end, SUNY has contracted with Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, LLC to administer a SUNY DEI Campus Climate Survey for employees. The survey will be administered online from October 15 through November 22 and made accessible for those who need accommodations. You will soon receive a survey invitation via email, and your participation is voluntary and important. It will take about 15 minutes to complete.

The survey results will be used to identify strengths and opportunities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion on our campus. Hearing from all members of our campus community will allow us to reflect on our current practices and make efforts to improve everyone’s experience. Your voice is important.

To ensure that your responses remain confidential, no personal identifying information will be collected. You will be receiving an email directly from Viewfinder® Campus Climate Surveys, LLC inviting you to participate in the survey.

We appreciate your time in supporting this important effort to advance our DEI goals at FSC. If you have any questions, please contact FSC Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence and Chief Diversity Officer Kevin Jordan, EdD (jordankd@farmingdale.edu), or SUNY Senior Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion/Chief Diversity Officer Ricardo Nazario-Colón, EdD (r.nazariocolon@suny.edu).

Thank you for your participation.
