Drake University wants to improve students’ educational experiences and first-year students and seniors can help by completing the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). NSSE helps guide decisions that will benefit Drake students. For example, Drake used NSSE data to:

• Expand opportunities (e.g., study abroad, service-learning)
• Evaluate the impact of the Drake Curriculum
• Highlight for each college and school the top five areas of excellence/challenge
• Assist efforts to create a more welcoming environment for diverse students

Drake first-year and senior students will receive invitations to participate in this important survey beginning tomorrow, Feb. 23. Please share your feedback to help us make improvements. Your voice matters.
