Highlights and Updates:

 

National Survey of Student Engagement Participation was Through the Roof!

  

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), an online survey offered to URI freshmen and seniors two years at URI, was back again this spring, 2013! Overall, 1.6 million students at more than 620 institutions were invited to participate in the survey. 

Our students did an amazing job with survey participation! Approximately 30% of URI freshmen and seniors gave feedback on their experiences at URI, which is greater than the average of similar sized institutions (see graph above). In raw numbers, we had 661 freshmen and 876 seniors participate. Congrats Rhody Rams!

As promised, four iPad Mini winners will be announced on Friday, May 10th. If you are a winner you will be notified via email on that date. For questions, please contact assess@uri.edu.
