Message from Dr. Warren regarding PACE Climate Survey

As you know every three years the college administers a climate survey to provide data on perceptions of the college environment, and to help to inform us on what we are doing well and what may need some tweaking.  In the fall the Personal Assessment of the College Environment (PACE) survey was administered for this purpose.  We appreciate your input and look closely at the results.  Your feedback is a part of continuous planning for improvements at the college.  An example of that is something you will see formally announced soon in LincIN.  Watch for the implementation of KUDOS, an opportunity to recognize faculty and staff for the many times they go out of their way to support our students and our operations.  We will continue to analyze results and work toward improving the existing college climate.
