Laker Voices: Assessment of Climate for Learning, Living, and Working
FLCC aims to create a campus environment where all members of the college community can succeed. To make our institution the best it can be, we asked students, faculty, and staff to share their experiences through a survey called "Laker Voices: Assessment of Climate for Learning, Living, and Working at FLCC."
Defining Our Campus Climate
Climate refers to the current attitudes, behaviors, and standards of employees and students concerning the access for, inclusion of, and level of respect for individual and group needs, abilities, and potential. Rankin & Associates presented the final report and campus climate survey document in Fall 2019, which led to the FLCC data-informed institution-wide DEI plan.

A Letter from the President on Learning, Living, and Working at FLCC
September 17, 2018
Dear FLCC community member:
At FLCC, we seek to create an environment characterized by openness, fairness, and equal access for all students, faculty and staff. 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.
During 2018-19, FLCC will undertake a vital and relevant climate assessment. This project is part of a SUNY Performance Improvement Fund grant to support our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives at FLCC. This assessment provides us with an opportunity to make a difference in FLCC's future. It is our opportunity to make positive, lasting changes and to help create a more inclusive campus. To best ensure that we fully utilize the resources provided by the SUNY Performance Improvement Fund grant, and to provide the most complete and holistic perspective, we have contracted with Rankin & Associates Consulting to help lead this effort. Rankin & Associates has conducted over 170 campus climate assessment projects over the last 20 years.
A team from Rankin & Associates will work with a committee of students, faculty and staff from FLCC to develop and implement the assessment. The results will better enable us to both develop programs and policies that will increase inclusivity in areas which are shown to be problematic and enhance and replicate programs and policies in areas which are shown to be successfully meeting the needs of our community.
You will find some background in the Aug. 20 eNews. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
When this assessment becomes available for you to participate, I hope that you will join me in supporting this important project that provides us the opportunity to work with one of the best organizations in the nation to provide us a thorough review of where we stand in the realm of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and where we can continue to improve upon in order to create a truly welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone at our great College.
Sincerely,
Robert K. Nye
President
Finger Lakes Community College
