Graduate School administrators, faculty, and staff are committed to fostering an inclusive, vibrant community for Virginia Tech graduate students and their families. To help achieve that goal, and to find ways to improve, the Graduate School began conducting climate surveys in 2013, building on earlier work. The goal is to take the pulse of the community every three years, and to share the findings so we can move forward together. You'll find the 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022 survey reports, data dashboards, and elements in this section of the Graduate School website.
