More than 35% of faculty and staff members across the Metropolitan State University of Denver community have already completed the new Universitywide Engagement, Leader and Self-Identification Survey.

“I like that the survey gave me the chance to let my chair know what they’re doing well and what they can improve on, as this survey is also being used as this year’s chair evaluation,” said Sarah Chorley, Ph.D., assistant professor, Communication Studies.

Check out this quick video to learn why Chorley and other Roadrunners – including Lucinda Conde, Individualized Degree specialist; Nick Pistentis, executive director of Application Services; and Lekshmy Sankar, assistant director for Database and Application Administration – took the survey and why they encourage all employees to share their feedback.

Employees are invited to complete the survey by Friday.
