Dear colleagues,

I want to thank you for taking the time to complete the employee engagement survey. Nearly two-thirds of our core staff responded, a rate that compares quite favorably with institutions of similar size.

The collected data is now being analyzed, and the results will be shared with employees in late May. After receiving and reviewing the results, the next step will be to create an action plan based on the feedback you provided.

This important survey will tell us a lot about what the college is doing well, and where we need to do more, to create and sustain an open, inclusive, and equitable work environment at Bates. I am very grateful for your contributions to this effort, and for making Bates better, together.

Sincerely,

   Garry
