On Wednesday, Oct.26, Dr. Charlotte Warren sent an email to all faculty and staff regarding completion of the PACE survey. The PACE survey is a climate survey used to capture perceptions of the college environment and inform us on what we are doing well and what could be improved. PACE survey results are critically important in the work of the Campus Climate Team (CCT). This data provides CCT members insight as to areas that need further research and attention. After research and assessment, CCT may pass information collected along to a unit of the college who isbetter suited to address the needed improvement. In other instances, CCT may create a project charter and assemble a group of internal stakeholders to review and recommend action to improve.

One example of how PACE data was used by CCT for institutional improvement is the Professional Development Project Charter. In reviewing previous PACE data , CCT discovered that a disproportionate amount of classified and professional staff, as compared to all other classifications, were not satisfied with the availability of professional development and training opportunities. A representative group of campus stakeholders conducted further research and made recommendations for change that resulted in the following:

• Included professional development plans as part of employees’ overall performance management plan to encourage intentional conversations between supervisors and employees about their professional development.
• Created designated professional development funds of $5000 each year for the Classified Professional Advisory Committee and the Professional Advisory Committee to provide professional development and training opportunities for their membership.
• Ultimately led to the approval through the planning and budgeting process to fund a full-time position dedicated to the professional development of staff employees.

The CCT strongly encourages all employees to complete the PACE survey starting Nov. 1 and ending Nov. 23.  Robust participation will ensure that CCT has quality data to continue their work of improving the climate and environment at LLCC.
