<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The faculty senate and I would like to strongly encourage you to participate in the campus climate survey linked to in the message from President Jones that went out this morning. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The survey is designed to see how different demographic groups view the university and the university environment, to identify any important areas that require addressing, and to help develop plans to improve the quality of life and learning on
campus.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There are incentives if you participate early.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for taking the time to complete the survey,</div>

Dear Texas A&M University-Commerce community member,<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

At A&M-Commerce we seek to create an environment characterized by openness, fairness, and equal access for all students, staff, and faculty. A welcoming and inclusive campus climate is grounded in mutual respect, nurtured by dialogue, evidenced by a pattern
of civil interaction, and is one of the foundations of our educational model. Creating and maintaining a community environment that respects individual needs, abilities, and potential is critically important.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

As you may know, we are in the process of assessing how all members of our community experience the current campus climate via a Learning, Living, and Working Survey. The goals of the project are multifold: 1) identify successful initiatives, 2) uncover any
challenges facing members of our community, and 3) develop strategic initiatives to build on the successes and address the challenges.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
I encourage you to take a few minutes to help us understand the current climate at A&M-Commerce. The survey is designed to provide information about both positive and challenging aspects of our climate and is your opportunity to describe your personal experiences,
your observations, and to offer suggestions for change that might enhance the campus climate.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
