Student Engagement Survey: Your Participation is Needed

We’re inviting students to participate in the National Survey of Student Engagement to help us improve the Drake Experience. Starting on February 18, first-years and seniors received an email invitation to participate. In appreciation, we will enter all students who complete the survey by March 30 into a drawing for 1 of 15 bookstore gift cards worth $50 each. Your chances of winning depend on how many complete the survey; the last time we administered this survey 441 students responded.

First-year and senior students who want to access the survey can also go to nssesurvey.org or use the QR code below.
