"These results do not surprise me at all," he said. "My experience at the University of Louisiana at Monroe has been extremely rewarding with everyone – from faculty to staff – coming together to push you to the next level. The universities in the UL System care about the success of their students."
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) released the results on Thursday, Nov. 4. NSSE is an annual survey of first-year students and seniors, and this marks the first year that all eight ULS schools participated in the survey.
The NSSE survey was completed by 362,000 students from 564 U.S. colleges and universities. Other significant findings included:
• 97 percent said their university provides the support they need to help succeed academically;
• 97 percent said they are acquiring a broad general education;
• 94 percent said they are acquiring job or work-related knowledge and skills;
• 79 percent rated the quality of academic advising as "Good" or "Excellent;"
• 76 percent rated faculty members as available, helpful or sympathetic;
• 60 percent rated administrative personnel and offices helpful, considerate and flexible; and
• 82 percent rated relationships with other students as friendly, supportive and a sense of belonging.
