    (2023-10) Priddie, Christen; Kinzie, Jillian; BrckaLorenz, Allison; Russell, Alethia
    Students’ mental health has become an increasingly important topic for colleges and universities. Understanding the environment for students’ emotional, psychological, and social wellness is vital as institutions aim to plan and provide support services and interventions. This webinar offers an opportunity for institutions with NSSE’s Mental Health & Well-Being Topical Module results to explore effective ways to use these data at their institution. The webinar will review the module’s content and structure, discuss selected overall results and highlights from a qualitative analysis of student comments, and suggest strategies that you can use to explore and share your results. This webinar is intended for institutions that participated in the new Mental Health & Well-Being Topical Module in 2023. We encourage you to invite colleagues across campus with interests in this topic to join the webinar, - or view it as a group to facilitate dialogue about your campus’ results. NSSE webinars are live and provide participants the opportunity to ask questions and share information. When you register you will be invited to submit questions and suggestions in advance.

    Creating New Possibilities for Students Through Data Informed Advising Practices: Lessons from the NSSE Academic Advising Topical Module
    (NSSE and the Center for Postsecondary Research, 2023-04-26) Kinzie, Jillian; Cole, Jim
    Good academic advising is central to student success. Yet, students’ advising experiences can be uneven and advising tends to be one of the more under-supported campus services. This may be why only about half of students responding to NSSE describe the quality of the advising they receive as very good or excellent. This webinar offers an opportunity to consider the most recent results about first-year students’ academic advising experience from NSSE 2022 and the Academic Advising Topical Module.  We will highlight salient results across three institutional types – doctoral, masters and liberal arts – and discuss the dimensions of advising practice that deserve attention as institutions across the country invest in improving academic advising to provide holistic support.

In this webinar, NSSE staff will discuss various methods to examine data to better understand minoritized students’ experiences on college campuses, expanding on methods covered in the Annual Results story, as well as provide other options for intentionally examining data through a DEI lens. The approaches presented in this webinar are applicable to NSSE, FSSE, and BCSSE data.

    COVID Times and Student Engagement: Using and Interpreting NSSE 2021 Results
    (Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research, 2021-11-18) McCormick, Alexander; Gonyea, Robert; Sarraf, Shimon; Cole, Jim; Kinzie, Jillian
    These slides were presented during a webinar, COVID Times & Student Engagement: Using and Interpreting NSSE 2021 Results NSSE results confirm that the coronavirus pandemic continued to have an impact on higher education and students in academic year 2020-21. For example, as students shifted to mostly remote instruction, participation in high-impact practices such as internships and study abroad understandably declined. Students also had fewer of the usual opportunities for collaborative learning and interactions with faculty, but some may have spent more time in academic preparation. While AY2021 may forever be marked by an asterisk, it is nonetheless important to explore results longitudinally, determine the appropriateness of comparison groups, examine differential impact on student subgroups, and share insights about how the disruption affected student engagement.

    (2020-08-26) BrckaLorenz, Allison; Gonyea, Robert
    NSSE reports are a great resource for assessing the quality of undergraduate education on your campus, but may not answer specific questions about the engagement of particular subpopulations, relationships between engagement and other institutional information, or the unique experiences of students in different programs or campuses at your institution. Questions such as these can be analyzed using the student-level, identified data files provided with your reports. This webinar is a guided tour of your data files including variable ordering, variable naming conventions, how we create derived variables from survey responses, tips for using various recorded variables, and more.
