3 reasons to take the 2025 Assessing the Climate of Sexual Misconduct Survey

Johns Hopkins University recently launched an anonymous Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct to obtain important data directly from students. All full-time students, both graduate and undergraduates, are able to take this survey. Check your email to find it! The survey is open from November 4, 2025 to December 9, 2025.

The survey will provide important data about:

• the prevalence of sexual misconduct and risk factors;
• student perceptions of problems and responses on our campuses; and
• student awareness and perception of available resources.

The data collected in this survey are crucial to student well-being and safety. Here are some reasons why we hope you will take the time to complete it.

1. You will make your voice heard. The survey is a way to anonymously share your experiences, to provide important information to inform how JHU responds to sexual misconduct, and to be a proactive member of the JHU community.
2. You will contribute to sexual misconduct prevention efforts in Johns Hopkins communities. Using data from past surveys, different university departments have been able to expand resources, fine tune policy, and create new and innovative programming to address sexual misconduct and to support survivors. Some examples of initiatives the survey has helped build are:
   • Additional staffers on the confidential Gender-Based Violence Prevention Team;
   • Bystander Intervention Trainings (and paid student facilitators) for all graduate students;
   • the Consent Campaign, which was the recipient of the 2023 NASPA “Outstanding Campus Program” Award; and
   • the We Listen. You Decide. resource, that connects students to all of the confidential resources at JHU in one easy spot.
3. You could win a $15 dollar gift card. Every fifth person who completes the survey wins a $15 Amazon gift card.

Thank you so much for considering taking the time to completing the survey.
