Student Sustainability Survey

What is the Survey?

The Student Sustainability Survey assesses WMU student sustainability awareness and priorities. The Survey is created, implemented, analyzed, and presented periodically by WMU Office for Sustainability (OfS) student researchers. By taking the survey, WMU students can directly influence how WMU Student Sustainability Fee funds are put to use advancing student sustainability priorities across the University. Recent and historic results are available below. In addition, the Office gathers and archives feedback on broad campus sustainability topics from related WMU surveys, prospective students, peer reviewed literature, popular press, and the annual Student Sustainability Summit. The Summit is coordinated by Lee Honors College Medallion Scholar students. Side note - this webpage is current but is one of several undergoing an upgrade in the new WMU content management system. Ignore the aesthetics. The fun feedback and survey results are available below.
