Tell Us About Working at WashU

For the first time in five years, the Danforth Staff Council is launching a comprehensive staff survey to gather your input on various aspects of working at WashU. This confidential, anonymous survey will be managed and analyzed by the DSC to advocate for each member of the Danforth staff community. Neither deans nor senior administrators will have access to the identities of respondents. Please take 15 minutes to complete the survey and share your candid thoughts. Your participation is crucial to helping us foster a supportive, inclusive, and thriving work environment.
