NSSE 2023 | Encourage your students to take the NSSE survey

First-year and senior students at WSU are receiving the National Survey for Student Engagement (NSSE) throughout March, and their answers to questions can help shape the future programming of WSU. Please encourage your students to take the important survey!

Emails will go to students system-wide on March 1, 7, 20, 23, and 28 on behalf of President Kirk Schulz asking for their participation; once they take the survey, they won’t receive more emails. The NSSE organization collects the data and reports results back to WSU, typically in late summer. WSU, along with hundreds of other universities, has participated in bi-annual NSSE surveys since 2000.

NSSE 2023 results may be particularly useful, as WSU will have data from before (2019), during (2021), and after (2023) the fully remote experience of the COVID‑19 pandemic.

In the past, students’ answers to NSSE questions have led WSU to create support for undergraduate research, more support for internships, and more study abroad opportunities. Campuses will receive disaggregated results to learn more about their students’ experiences and engagement.

Access to NSSE promotional materials is available online for use in classes and beyond.
