Our Initiatives

EDI Survey Campaign (Year-Round)

PGPIRG’s EDI Survey Campaign gathers student input on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at UNBC.

By participating, students help identify strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement on campus. The survey runs throughout the year and is open to all students who want to share their experiences and perspectives.

Your voice helps shape a more inclusive campus community.
