National Survey of Student Engagement at OSU
"Twenty-five years of educational research tells us that what students DO during their time in college counts more in terms of desired outcomes than who they are or even where they go to college."

-George D. Kuh,
Chancellor's Professor of Higher Education
Indiana University Bloomington

Student engagement represents the intersection of the time and energy students devote to educationally sound activities and the policies and practices that institutions use to induce students to take part in such activities (NSSE 2002 Annual Report). The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is an exciting and powerful tool specifically designed to help institutions assess the extent to which students are engaged in activities empirically associated with good educational practices and what students gain from their college experience. As such, NSSE seeks to refocus the conversation about educational quality on what matters most - student learning. OSU participated in this important national survey in 2000 and 2002.
