DEI Inclusive Community Survey
DEI Inclusive Community Survey
Your Campus. Your Input. Participate in the Rowan University Inclusive Community Survey until May 7, 2023!
On behalf of Rowan University, the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) will be conducting an Inclusive Community Survey through our survey partner, Viewfinder®. The survey is designed to measure the extent to which diversity and inclusion play an integral role on your campus and will be sent to all students and employees at Rowan University's main campus, as well as the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) and the Rowan–Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine (Rowan–Virtua SOM). Your participation will help us continue to build a campus learning and working environment in which everyone feels welcome, safe, and respected.
***As a follow-up, some participants have stated that they didn't receive the email from Viewfinder®, the company that developed the survey. If this is the case, please check your spam/junk folder, as it has been sent there automatically for some participants.
Starting on April 25, 2023 and lasting through May 7, 2023, the survey is available via the following general links for all students and employees at Rowan University's main campus, as well as CMSRU and Rowan–Virtua SOM:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why should I take the survey?
The Inclusive Community Survey is designed to help the Division of DEI better understand the perceptions of students, faculty, and staff. Your participation in the survey will offer insight into your experience with various aspects of our campus including resources for diverse populations, campus safety, and harassment/bias/discrimination reporting, among other topics. Findings from the survey will inform priorities for the Division of DEI and offer valuable data to many campus offices that serve students and staff. As an added incentive, participation will make you eligible for many different prize drawings for students and employees.
How do I participate?
Beginning April 10, 2023, all students and employees at all levels at the Glassboro and Camden campuses will receive the survey, in addition to students, faculty, and staff at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) in Camden and Rowan–Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine (Rowan–Virtua SOM) in Stratford and Sewell. The unique link to participate in the survey will be sent to your Rowan University email address and you will receive reminders to complete the survey throughout the survey period.

Who is being asked to take the survey?
Two instruments are being distributed: one for students and one for employees. Students and employees at all levels at the Glassboro and Camden campuses will receive the survey, in addition to students, faculty, and staff at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) in Camden and Rowan–Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine (Rowan–Virtua SOM) in Stratford and Sewell.
How long will it take to complete the survey?
The average completion time is 15 minutes.
Are my responses to the survey anonymous and confidential?
Considering demographic information is requested in the survey, there is a possibility of identifying an individual; however, that is not at all the intent of the survey, nor would it be useful to the study. Additionally, once the survey is complete, you will be provided an external link that is not connected with your responses through which you can provide your contact information to be eligible for participation incentives.
Do I have to take the survey?
While participation is highly encouraged, you are not required to respond to any or all of the survey questions, and you may choose not to participate at all.
