A survey of 3,370 students at three Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation universities explores factors affecting the educational experience of students of color in STEM. The dataset includes both closed and open-ended questions about people and behaviors shaping student experience, with a focus on actionable improvements. The survey was authored by Kamila Redd and last updated on May 14, 2026.

Use Cases

• Designing peer-focused behavioral interventions based on student-identified impactful behaviors.
• Analyzing reported mental health trends, such as anxiety and stress levels, among STEM students.
• Evaluating the context of past university initiatives that may correlate with positive student experiences.

Strengths

• Includes responses from 3,370 students, providing a substantial sample size.
• Combines closed and open-ended questions, allowing for mixed-methods analysis.
• Explicitly focuses on actionable insights for improving the climate for students of color.

Limitations
