Let your voice be heard! The Division for Equity and Inclusion (DEI) invites all
Lobos to learn about the Racial and Intersectional Microaggressions (RIMA)
Survey.
If you have been selected for the stratified sample you received a link to the online survey on March 8. The first 500 at Main/Branch campuses and 500 at HSC who complete the survey will be offered a $10 gift card. The more folks who complete it, the better work we can do to design interventions to improve campus climate.
