Session Abstract: Faculty climate surveys are a key resource for higher education institutions as they provide important information about faculty experiences as well as intentions to stay at the university. Staff from the University of Michigan ADVANCE Program will share and discuss new approaches to producing engaging reports, collaborating with stakeholders throughout the research lifecycle, and effective ways to communicate data. Attendees will learn from presenters and other participants about innovative ways to communicate climate survey data and consider how these strategies would be useful in their own work with faculty data and sharing findings with stakeholders.
