The Campus Climate Workgroup includes the following Wake Tech faculty and staff members:

• Rachel Madsen
• Barry Malone
• Faith Palmer
• Jacqueline Popp
• Shelia Spiegel
• Cricket Wellum

The workgroup strives for accountability through the assessment of separate data-driven surveys for students, faculty and staff. Disaggregated data is used as a tool to reveal equity gaps, amplify and validate student voices and experiences and cultivate opportunities that embody inclusive excellence.

The workgroup has undertaken the following initiatives:

• Select a third-party vendor – to ensure anonymity – to conduct separate surveys for students, faculty and staff
• Develop a marketing and promotion plan to increase survey participation
• Conduct organized forums to discuss the survey with students, faculty and staff
• Share survey results with the college community
• Discuss action items that will be addressed from the survey results to form focus groups
