AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoAssessment in Action: Universities are leaning harder on student engagement and learning data to drive decisions, from the University of Saint Mary’s revamped, data-driven assessment mix (faculty reports plus CLA+ and NSSE) to Viterbo’s long-running push to communicate NSSE results beyond marketing. Making Data Usable: Schools are translating survey findings into formats people can actually use—dashboards at Bucknell, instructor- and student-service “brief reports” at Nebraska–Lincoln, and infographic campaigns at Mills and Boston University to boost response rates. Targeted Improvements: Examples include Middle Georgia State using NSSE to plan High-Impact Practices, UNL using NSSE to shape core curriculum and support services, and Eastern Connecticut State using NSSE to redesign advising after students described broken support. Student Engagement Focus: Multiple campuses connect engagement to persistence and belonging, including UWF’s work on barriers to HIP participation and Tulane’s plan to expand engaged learning using NSSE as a baseline.
