Undergraduate quality & the changing faculty: Examining pieces of the puzzle

Abstract

Institutions deal with pressures to improve undergraduate quality and manage their changing faculties, tasks that sometimes seem at odds. Facilitators of this session- with more than a decade of data from initiatives such as the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE)- will share three faculty profiles: 1) the faculty in 2025; 2) the faculty at the 50 highest scoring NSSE institutions; and 3) the faculty who tend to use effective practices more. Through comparing these profiles, session participants will engage questions and derive lessons about improving undergraduate quality while effectively managing a changing faculty.
