Linfield worked closely with the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) in 2021 to gauge campus climate and student views.
In spring 2021, Linfield students, faculty and staff participated in the HEDS Campus Climate Survey, used by colleges and universities nationwide to measure campus attitudes about diversity and compare results against peers. The nationally normed results were released to the Linfield community in the fall and are available on the university website for students or employees with a Catnet login.
Later in the fall semester, a HEDS team held focus groups with students on both Linfield campuses to understand their views on what constitutes a successful life. The results of those focus groups were then presented to the community in a series of meetings.
