Powerful Conversations on NSSE
Augsburg College uses the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to learn more about how our students perceive their college experience. Student engagement is strongly related to both student success and retention. This series of conversations is designed to help faculty and staff understand how well we engage students, explore how we can leverage our strengths to have a more significant impact, and examine our most important opportunities for improvement. Over the year, we will look at overall results and then look more closely at each of the five factors measured by NSSE. Every academic department should have a representative attend these sessions.
The remaining sessions are scheduled as follows:
December 16, 2010, OGC 111 – Active and Collaborative Learning (Velma Lashbrook)
Light refreshments will be served.
RSVP to hedstrom@augsburg.edu
