Dear OSU Staff and Faculty:

As part of our University-wide initiative to support health and well-being, I am encouraging your participation in a campus-wide confidential survey to better understand and support employee health and wellness. Based on the information you provide through this survey, our Healthy Campus Initiative partners can effectively plan future strategies that support the health and wellness of our campus community. To access the survey please click here. If the survey does not open automatically, please copy and paste the following link to your internet browser’s address bar:

I ask each of you to respond to this questionnaire using the online option. You will then be prompted to your first question; the remaining questions will then show up on your screen.

Please note, this survey is about planning for OSU’s Healthy Campus Initiative and is not affiliated with PEBB or any health benefit program.

The Oregon State University Survey Research Center and Student Voice/Campus Labs (a third party data collection company) are working with OSU’s Healthy Campus Initiative to collect and manage the data for this survey. This arrangement will ensure that all survey data will remain confidential.

Your answers to the survey will be utilized only as summaries in which no individual employee can be identified. Your participation is voluntary, and you may choose to skip any questions you do not wish to answer. Choosing to decline participation in this survey will not affect your employment or benefits at OSU.

Every response helps us better understand employees’ needs and allows us to improve our campus community. If you have questions about the purpose of this study, or if you have questions about submitting your questionnaire, please contact Sandi Cleveland at 541-737-3348 or at sandi.cleveland@oregonstate.edu. You may be interested to know that Dr. Donna Champeau of Public Health is the Principal Investigator of this research.

If you have questions about your rights as a survey participant, please contact the Oregon State University Institutional Review Board (IRB) Human Protection Administrator at 541-737-8008 or by email at IRB@oregonstate.edu and refer to study number 5174 (OSU Faculty/Staff Wellness Survey).

Thank you for your cooperation.
