[COPLAC-IR] FW: National Study of Student Learning, Voting, and Engagement

[Turrentine, Cathy]

Colleagues -

Last year and the year before I encouraged you - all of us, really - to participate in the National Study of Student Learning, Voting, and Engagement. This study matches IPEDS data with voting data from across the country to tell us whether our students registered, whether they voted, and if so whether that was in person or absentee. You can find more information about this study<http://activecitizen.tufts.edu/research/nslve/> here. A majority of COPLAC campuses have already signed up, so thanks to those who have! There are 11 COPLAC campuses not yet participating, and I don't know whether this is a considered decision not to participate or you intended to sign up and never did or it never made it to your radar screen in the first place.


*         Southern Utah University


*         University of Mary Washington


*         University of Virginia's College at Wise


*         Shepherd University


*         Ramapo College


*         Truman State University


*         University of North Carolina at Asheville


*         University of Montevallo


*         Mansfield University of Pennsylvania


*         Sonoma State University


*         University of South Carolina at Aiken


It would be really great to have all COPLAC campuses participate so that we can get good comparative data. It's free, and it's an unobtrusive study - that is, it gives us valuable information about our students without subjecting them to yet another survey because it uses existing data. If your institution has not yet signed up please consider joining by October 9. Here's the link to the form<http://activecitizen.tufts.edu/wp-content/uploads/NSLVE-Authorization-Form-2015.pdf>. I signed on behalf of my institution, and I believe IR directors have ordinarily been the signatories on these participation agreements.

Thanks -

Cathy
