NSSE Report Builder updated with 2022 data

NSSE recently updated its popular Report Builder tool with data from the 2022 administration. 

The NSSE Report Builder is designed to target specific questions about normative patterns of engagement, such as "How engaged are your senior engineering majors?" or "How do your first-generation students compare to those at other colleges and universities?"

Read more about how to use the NSSE Report Builder at our recent NSSE Sightings post, and try a demo version using fictional NSSE data.
