Institutions of higher education are increasingly looking for strategies to assess diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). An alumni survey is a valuable tool for identifying actionable strategies to create a supportive environment for Black students, faculty, and staff, and increase Black student’s success. As an example, our survey’s findings underscored the need for improvements in 1) anti-bias training, 2) academic advising, 3) diversity education in the coursework, 4) hiring and retaining Black faculty, and 5) community organizations for BIPOC students. We recommend the use of an alumni survey to obtain an assessment of campus climate and best strategies for DEI.
