Needs Assessment Survey for LGBTQIA Staff and Faculty. Pdf flyer attached.

The LGBTQ Resource Center is pleased to announce that we are launching a Needs Assessment Survey for LGBTQIA Staff and Faculty. This survey, launching April 20th, will capture the experiences of LGBTQIA Staff on all UNM campuses. The survey will run for three weeks and can be found at goto.unm.edu/2geuy.  

With the data from the survey, the LGBTQ Resource Center will be able to create comprehensive programming to best meet the needs of the LGBTQIA staff and faculty on all campuses. 

To ensure participants safety, no identifying information will be collected. We hope you will join us in uplifting the voices of the LGBTQIA community at UNM. 

For any additional information, please feel free to reach out to Frankie Flores at fiyero81@unm.edu.
