On January 10th IRIS announced the launch of its fourth annual survey through various media outlets at York University. Tabling took place from January 10th-23rd in Vari Hall, the Student Center, Osgoode Hall, Schulich, and Glendon. Over 1,000 York University and Seneca@York students, faculty and staff members filled out the survey, helping IRIS achieve its goal for 1,000 participants.
This year’s survey focused on student engagement and volunteerism. In an effort to increase campus sustainability, members of IRIS decided to explore the values and interests of the York community. The goal of this year’s survey is to establish the university’s core values, interests, and engagement with campus groups with the hope that it would be used to tailor campus organizations initiatives to enhance participation.
Past surveys have resulted in the carbon neutral course kits and have been used by student organizations to establish policy initiatives and by individuals interested in the opinions of students, faculty and staff on issues such as waste management, campus food providers, campus woodlots, and carbon offsetting. The results of the survey will be released later this year.
