Promoting Campuswide Use of NSSE Data: Fostering Student Engagement, Social Identity, and a Sense of Belonging

Abstract

Students’ sense of belonging and social identities matter to engagement. In 2023, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) revised items with a critical eye toward inclusion by expanding social identity questions so students see themselves in response options and to make the survey more relevant for today’s students. This interactive session features an overview and discussion of recent NSSE results for social identities and belonging and introduces two resources for inclusive and campuswide data sharing and use in student affairs.
