Practical Ideas for Using NSSE Data

Read about how 23 institutions used their NSSE results in Lessons from the Field–Volume 4: Digging Deeper to Focus and Extend Data Use.

Lessons From The Field: Volume 4

In 2014, Southern Connecticut State University created a Living-Learning Community dedicated to its high proportion of first-generation students. To assess this new program's impact, progress of students identified by BCSSE as first-generation who were participants in the L-L Community was compared to that of first-generation nonparticipants. Both 2014 and 2015 first-generation L-L Community students had higher retention rates than their nonparticipant counterparts.
