<p class="MsoNormal">In an effort to improve equitable and inclusive practice throughout our Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree programs in Washington State, the Baccalaureate Leadership Council (BLC) Equity Subcommittee was formed to address these needs
and to work towards statewide goals. The BLC Equity Subcommittee has created a <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/BTaV0wnmucKjQtmD3">
short survey</a> to gather data on current equitable and inclusive practices, desired professional development opportunities, and the demographics of BAS faculty and staff. Completion of this survey is voluntary and all results will be kept anonymous. Survey
results will be used as guidance in the development of new strategies and best practices to better serve historically underserved populations in BAS programs across Washington State.<o:p></o:p></p>

be reviewed at the end of March 2019, and will continue to be reviewed afterwards.<o:p></o:p></p>
