Starting the first week in February, NDSU will administer the National Survey of Student Engagement. The survey tracks how engaged students are in learning and helps NDSU identify its strengths and opportunities for improvement.

The National Survey of Student Engagement will randomly select NDSU freshmen and seniors to complete the survey. The students will receive an email invitation with a link to the online survey.

The questions focus on students’ participation in activities and programs determined to be best practices in undergraduate education.

NDSU has administered the survey every other year since it first became available in 2000, said Mark Hanson, research analyst in Institutional Research and Analysis.

Students who complete the survey will be entered in a drawing to win one of 50 $50 Walmart gift cards.

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.
