REMINDER: UNL Extension Culture Study - your opinion is important!

UNL Extension is working with the other states in the North Central Region to conduct a culture study. Everyone with a 25% or greater Extension appointment or equivalent responsibilities is invited to participate (this includes office staff, technical support staff, Extension Assistants/Associates, Extension Educators, Extension Specialists and administrators with Extension responsibilities). Results from this study will be a catalyst for important conversations at the state level.

Your opinion is important to us! Please review the information below and consider participating in this study.

We want to know what your perceptions are of the culture of UNL Extension. The continued success of our organization strongly relies on our culture. Your opinions, combined with other employees, will be used to establish a foundational cultural framework for UNL Extension that informs our organizational change initiatives. By participating, you have the opportunity to help guide decisions within UNL Extension.

Aggregated data from this study will be utilized for graduate research at the lead institution on the project, The Ohio State University.

We realize your time is valuable. The survey will take you approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. We ask that you complete this survey within the next three weeks. If you choose to participate, please click on the link below or copy and paste the entire URL into your web browser.
