It's midsemester: Time to check in on students' mental health and wellness.
As the country emerges from the COVID pandemic, it has become increasingly clear that another “pandemic” has arisen. Though college students' mental health and wellness has been a concern for many years, it has recently emerged as a widespread problem that can seriously impact academic success.
Applying Pluralistic Ignorance to Student Engagement: One Item Set, Two Studies
Pluralistic ignorance generally refers to “erroneous cognitive beliefs shared by two or more individuals about the ideas, feelings, and actions of others” (O’Gorman, 1986, p. 333). This is a classic construct in social psychology, generally known as a means of exploring negative or risky behaviors of college student populations like drug and alcohol use (Suls & Green, 2003) or sexual behaviors (Kuperberg & Padgett, 2017). But how might it relate to a more modern and positive college student experience?
NSSE Accreditation Toolkit Updates: Considerations for Equity & Educational Quality
Accreditation’s dual purpose - upholding standards for educational quality and expectations for continuous improvement in colleges and university - aligns with NSSE goals. As such, many NSSE participating institutions indicate that accrediting agencies are the primary external audience with whom they share their NSSE results. Student engagement results are vital measures of educational quality and can be a stimulus for and evidence of institutional improvement initiatives.

Using Effect Coding to Study Minoritized Populations
Effect coding allows researchers to compare groups of data to the average (mean) of the sample, as opposed to another group of data (Mayhew & Simonoff, 2015). This contrasts with indicator (dummy) coding, which uses a single group as a reference group. This is particularly useful when comparing groups of participants, separated by identity.
Webinar Notes: Lessons from the 2022 NSSE Advising Topical Module
Good academic advising is central to student success. Yet, students’ advising experiences can be uneven and advising tends to be one of the more under-supported campus services. This may be why only about half of students responding to NSSE describe the quality of the advising they receive as very good or excellent. This webinar offers an opportunity to consider the most recent results about first-year students’ academic advising experience from NSSE 2022 and the Academic Advising Topical Module. We will highlight salient results across three institutional types – doctoral, masters and liberal arts – and discuss the dimensions of advising practice that deserve attention as institutions across the country invest in improving academic advising to provide holistic support.
