The Office of Institutional Effectiveness administered the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to first-year students and seniors at the College in Spring 2025. Saint Mary’s received the results in Fall 2025. Since that time, a NSSE Review Group has met four times to review the data and prepare the NSSE 2025 Executive Summary, which has been shared with leadership and will be shared with others over the next month for consideration of how this summary and other data reports might inform ongoing evaluation and improvement efforts. You may also be interested in the Engagement Indicators Report with more details on how we compare with others who administered the NSSE in 2024 and 2025.
