Campus climate is broadly defined as a campus community’s current attitudes, beliefs, behaviors and standards regarding respect, diversity and inclusion. Numerous studies have shown that campus climate impacts all of the campus community - students, staff and faculty - on a variety of outcomes such as academic, professional and personal development. Surveys are conducted periodically to better understand how the campus community is experiencing their learning, living and work environments related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Below are a list of the climate surveys that have been administered to LMU's students, staff and faculty by year, dating back to 2006. Links, accessible via my.lmu.edu, to summaries are also provided.
