<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<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" target="_blank">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>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The BLC Equity Subcommittee encourages you to complete this survey and pass it on to all staff and faculty on your campus affiliated with BAS programs to complete as well. This survey is not for students. The first round of responses was
reviewed at the end of March 2019, and we hope to continue gathering more responses for review.<o:p></o:p></p>
