The NSSE is a survey of freshmen and seniors at both public and private four-year institutions. It gauges the extent to which colleges are providing experiences associated with a quality undergraduate education and the extent to which students are engaged in their college experience. With sponsorship from the Offices of the President and Provost, UMBC first participated in 2000.
The results have been used with other information to make changes to curriculum, programs, and resources. In response to initial results, senior administration implemented a number of initiatives designed to increase student engagement and success, some examples include: first-year seminars, Introduction to an Honors University seminars, living learning communities, the new student book experience, and the faculty mentor program.
So…CHECK IT OUT, FILL IT OUT, and LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!
