I think there is a lot more to civic engagement than community service,
yes? Would there be any interest at all in all of us choosing to sign up
for the NSSE module on civic engagement, in lieu of the separate COPLAC
questions? We could still choose each other as a comparison group.

I think my colleagues here at Eastern would like to have that data on
civic engagement. And frankly I would too.
I will take another step and suggest that the item replace one on the
current list, in order to keep it short. I would suggest we replace the
item asking for high school AP credits; hopefully you have that data in
your university database.
Your thoughts?

Dear Colleagues:
I would like to second Laura's suggestion that we have a COPLAC question
on the topic of community service/volunteer work.
The COPLAC Board is preparing to partner with AAC&U in an effort to
inventory levels of civic engagement on our campuses (as part of the
LEAP Initiative) and it would be good to have as many sources of
information on this topic as possible.
Thank you,
Bill

Hi all,
Evergreen is participating this year as well.
The new NSSE survey is available at
http://nsse.iub.edu/pdf/survey_instruments/2013/NSSE%202013%20US%20Engli
sh.pdf
I don't see any obvious redundancies between our 10 COPLAC consortium
questions and the very changed new NSSE survey. 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. Is that a metric that others have relied on in the past?

Keene State will participate this year.
I've been wondering about the consortium questions. Someone asked about
them at the conference in June, but we didn't have time to address that
while we were all together. Can anyone tell me how you use the results
of those questions at your own institution? I've only been at KSC for 2
years, so I don't know the history of the questions.

Hi everyone,
Is anyone coordinating the COPLAC NSSE consortium? I hope everyone, or
almost everyone, will participate. Eastern is in, no question.

Dear Brian:
We are pleased to announce that NSSE system registration is open for the
spring 2014 administration. 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
<http://nsse.iub.edu/pdf/NSSEville%20System%20Report.pdf> 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
<http://nsse.iub.edu/html/systems.cfm> . Remaining questions can be
addressed by sending an email to consorti at indiana.edu
<mailto:consorti at indiana.edu?subject=RE:%20NSSE%202013%20System%20Regist
ration> or by calling 812-856-5824.
I look forward to working with you on another successful NSSE
administration.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Brooks
