Faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend a fun, casual open house for the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) with catered snacks and beverages. NSSE is a national survey that helps Drake assess student engagement across the campus. The Office of Institutional Research & Assessment will hold this event in Cowles Library, Room 201, on Thursday, April 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. At this open house, the Drake community can learn about the results of NSSE as it pertains to five areas:

• Overall student experience
• Academic engagement
• First-year experience
• Diversity and inclusion
• High-impact practices

We encourage all members of Drake’s campus to come engage with other faculty, staff, and students about how all members of the campus community can work together to improve student engagement and the student experience, and also to celebrate the good work that the Drake community is already doing. For any questions about this event, please contact Gregory Lin (gregory.lin@drake.edu).
