CSM You Belong Survey

1. To understand the diverse composition, experiences, and sense of belonging of the students, staff, and faculty population at CSM
2. To identify potential groups that may be under-represented that may benefit from future focus as part of institutional inclusion initiatives
3. To inform future delivery of programs, policies, education, or interventions designed to meet the diverse needs and or identified gaps in diversity at CSM and the University
4. To measure and report on CSM and the University’s progress in building a more equitable and inclusive campus, and for long term strategic planning and program evaluation purposes (for example, as a metric as part of the CSM Strategic Plan).

Completing this survey is voluntary. You can choose to skip any of the specific questions in the survey and can even withdraw your participation at the end of the survey. If, after submitting the survey, you change your mind about participating, you can contact the Precision Equity and Social Justice Office (PESJO) to remove your data up until end of day on March 31, 2025, when the survey closes and data will be analyzed. 

We recognize the sensitive nature of the information being collected as part of the You Belong Survey. All survey responses will be collected using the secure Qualtrics software platform. All data will be kept confidential and stored in a secure environment with technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure or destruction of your personal information; including encryption, multi-factor authentication, access provisioning procedures, permission lists, and routine access controls.

Although we do not ask for survey participant names or specific identifiers, it is possible that by virtue of the nature of the questions asked or by virtue of a respondent’s unique characteristics, some respondents may be identifiable. However, access to the raw data collected on Qualtrics will be limited to only those individuals in CSM responsible for administering and analyzing the Survey for the Purposes outlined above. 

Data will be aggregated to further protect survey participant anonymity. If even aggregate data could be potentially identifying (i.e., due to small response size), it will not be reported.

All personal information collected through the You Belong Survey will be collected, used and disclosed in compliance with the University of Calgary’s Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted by FOIP.
