Cycle History

St. Lawrence participates in ongoing survey research - some surveys are conducted on an annual cycle, others on a 3-5 year cycle (e.g. Qualtity of Residence Life; Diversity & Inclusion).  The Sexual Assault Campus Climate Survey is on a 2 year cycle as required by New York State law.  Several surveys are in-house instruments.  Others are national instruments which are typically supplemented with a few local questions of interest.  Also, St. Lawrence alternates between survey instruments as each pursues a particular emphasis.
