University Surveys

Conducting surveys provides Western Illinois University an opportunity to obtain input on a variety of issues. This input is a valuable tool in providing information to facilitate decision making in conjunction with Western's commitment to continuous improvement. While most surveys are campus based and driven by local issues and interests, Western also participates in a number of national surveys that help Western assess itself in comparison with other universities nationwide. This website helps make the campus and external community aware of Western's survey efforts and provides easy access to survey results and trends.
