PAWS (Perception and Well-being Survey)

This annual survey (previously known as Campus Environment Survey) asks students, faculty, staff, and administrators to participate in anonymously answering questions about work-life balance, discrimination/fair treatment, communication, organization/leadership, and other factors influencing living, working, and learning environments currently available at SRSU.

This survey was developed by the SRSU Guiding Coalition, a university-wide committee whose objective is to measure several important aspects of living and working within the university. The PAWS was also reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), who ensures research at SRSU is conducted following ethical principles and in compliance with federal, state and university regulations governing research activity.
