Campus Experience Survey

What is the UH Mānoa Campus Experience Survey (CES)?

The Campus Experience Survey is designed for all members of the UH Mānoa campus community – including all students, faculty and staff – to provide information about their undergraduate experiences living, learning and working at Mānoa. The University is conducting the survey in order to learn more about what students, staff and faculty think about their Mānoa experience, and to learn how we can support and improve the campus experience for everyone.

How is this survey different from other surveys?

This is the first survey designed specifically for all members of the Mānoa Campus community. This survey provides an opportunity for all students, faculty and staff at Mānoa to share their opinions about their experiences on this campus. By using an open-ended style of survey questioning, we invite all our community members to tell us what they think is most important about their Mānoa experience.

Who can participate?

All students, faculty and staff at UH Mānoa are invited to participate and share their experiences.

It is a way for you to have a voice in your work and learning environment, to let the university know what it is doing right, as well as identify areas that need improvement. By learning more about your Mānoa experience, UH Mānoa can reflect on how to improve the overall campus experience for everyone who lives, learns and works at Mānoa.
