This year Kalamazoo College is participating in the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) which measures skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and effective written communication. All first-year students are eligible and encouraged to participate this Fall – students should check their K email for the invitation message or visit studev.kzoo.edu/cla to participate.

As a thank you for your time, the first 100 students who complete the CLA+ will receive $25 in K Cash or Bookstore credit.

The 2022 National College Health Assessment (NCHA) gathers information from college students on a wide range of health and wellness topics. All K students have an opportunity to participate this year, and data collected from campus participants will inform programs, services, and information provided to students through the Student Health Center, Student Development, and other campus entities.

All students received an email invitation to participate, and QR codes & the survey link are posted around campus. As a small thank you for your time, students who complete the survey will receive a $5 credit on their K ID which can be used at the Richardson Room in Hicks or the Book Club in ULC

• Limited bus transportation will be available for students who want a ride to the beach in South Haven, MI.
• As seating is limited, students must choose which bus to ride and remain on that schedule – those who miss their return bus in South Haven are responsible for their own transportation back to campus, so please plan accordingly.
• Seats will be available on a first come basis, with 32 seats available for each trip.
• Only those taking a bus to South Haven are guaranteed a return trip back to campus (i.e. buses cannot be used one-way only to get back from the beach).

As announced in recent Hornet Hive announcements, K is hosting several focus groups May 15-20, and we are looking for student volunteers to share their thoughts about current and future DEI efforts at the College. These focus groups will explore some of the themes from the 2021 DEI Campus Climate Survey.
