The Climate Project & Inclusive Excellence • The Climate Study is foundational to Inclusive Excellence in that it is the first time in the UW System that we are collecting data on multiple and intersectional identities based on experiences and perceptions of campus life by all members of the community. • It is a population study that encouraged every campus community member to provide input on the campus climate. • The input, data, and final results will be used in tandem with other data as a starting point to build an action plan that speaks to Inclusive Excellence.
