WSU first-year students and seniors can take the National Survey of Student Engagement until mid-May.
The Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research organizes the NSSE and collects survey data from over 1,600 colleges and universities, said Kimberly Green, director of the WSU Office of Assessment for Curricular Effectiveness.
The survey opened March 1. WSU started offering the survey in 2000 and participates in the survey every two years, she said.
Universities with more than 12,000 undergraduate students pay an $8,000 survey enrollment fee to IU, said Zachary Rost, administrative assistant for the Office of Assessment.
WSU invests money into the survey to receive a comprehensive analysis of life as a college student. Green said the survey is high quality and helps the university understand student perspectives and if they are changing over time.
It was a year ago Saturday that the first Hoosier was stricken with what has become our 21st Century nightmare, COVID-19. Ten days later Roberta “Birdie” Shelton became the first known death, dying alone in a pandemic that came quickly and with great mystery.
Now, some 12,633 Hoosier deaths later (and more than 517,000 nationally), we are seeing what has been widely described as a light at the end of the tunnel. Earlier this week, the millionth Hoosier took what is nothing short of a modern miracle, a vaccination developed and tested in less than a year that is guaranteed to keep you out of the hospital and an early grave.

As the events of the past few months have unfolded, I have often found myself wondering what our Founders would have made of it all. Impossible to know, of course, but they had plenty of insight to offer.
In particular, I keep returning to these lines from James Madison: “I go on this great republican principle, that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom,” he said. “Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks no form of government can render us secure.”
