Why is campus climate important?
Dr. Susan Rankin of Rankin & Associates, who is serving on the team of outside consultants for the University of Mississippi climate survey, defines campus climate as “the current attitudes, behaviors, standards and practices of employees and students of an institution.” The climate is often shaped through personal experiences, perceptions and institutional efforts.
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff:
At the University of Mississippi, we are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive campus climate that is open and accessible to all, grounded in mutual respect, and nurtured by dialogue.
