You are currently listed as the System Coordinator for: Connecticut State Universities. If your system plans to participate in NSSE 2014, please register the system by September 15, 2013 using the following link: https://surveytest.indiana.edu/nsse/registration/consortium/2014/ During registration, you will designate eligible institutions within your system. When the institutions you designate register for NSSE, they will be eligible to join your system for the NSSE administration. As a reminder, systems may append additional questions to the end of the survey for a fee. Also, because system reports identify individual institution results, system coordinators must obtain data sharing agreements from member institutions. I will be in touch this fall to assist with this process. For additional information about system participation see our Web site. Remaining questions can be addressed by sending an email to consorti at indiana.edu or by calling 812-856-5824. I look forward to working with you on another successful NSSE administration.

As everyone prepares for a new academic year, it would be helpful if we could identify a new coordinator for the COPLAC Data Profile and for the NSSE Survey. If you would be kind enough to consider serving in either (or both) roles, please contact me at your earliest convenience, but ideally before 23 August. In the meantime, the COPLAC Office will begin exploring options for creating a new online platform for discussion and sharing of information. We will also send out a SurveyMonkey to identify the range of information that might be housed on a password protected site. Thank you for your consideration.

I believe the questions were revised in 2009- or thereabouts, and edited down from 19 questions to 10. Our next scheduled NSSE administration is 2015. Our campus has agreed to move to a three year cycle. I can't point to anything we've done with the responses. The questions are similar to others we ask elsewhere. I'd be interested in having a conversation about the current questions, especially how they might be shaped to fit the communications and advocacy framework.

I do want to encourage us to stick with the shortest list possible of additional questions, because some institutions might already opt to lengthen their surveys with one of the new optional topic modules. Response rate are already a challenge, and I'm in favor of keeping our list (and the survey) as short as possible. The ones we've most often used in the past are: A2 primary source of academic advising A4 have you experienced a sense of community A9/A10 do you plan to transfer before graduation?/If so, what is primary reason? One question, we could consider adding (or better yet, replacing for one of the existing set) would be whether students have participated in community service/volunteer work during their time at our colleges. This was previously a NSSE item that we used very regularly among other metrics for our service learning initiatives and Campus Compact assessments; this item is no longer asked by NSSE in the new iteration of the survey.

You are currently listed as the System Coordinator for: Connecticut State Universities. If your system plans to participate in NSSE 2014, please register the system by September 15, 2013 using the following link: https://surveytest.indiana.edu/nsse/registration/consortium/2014/ During registration, you will designate eligible institutions within your system. When the institutions you designate register for NSSE, they will be eligible to join your system for the NSSE administration. As a reminder, systems may append additional questions to the end of the survey for a fee. Also, because system reports identify individual institution results, system coordinators must obtain data sharing agreements from member institutions. I will be in touch this fall to assist with this process. For additional information about system participation see our Web site. Remaining questions can be addressed by sending an email to consorti at indiana.edu or by calling 812-856-5824. I look forward to working with you on another successful NSSE administration.
