Meet the Climate Survey Team

The UMKC Climate Survey team consists of a full committee faculty and staff from throughout the university. The committee worked closely with Rankin Climate, who administered the survey.

Survey best practices revealed working with an independent, outside agency to conduct surveys on subject matter like campus climate were likely to yield higher response rates and provide more credible findings.
