WHY SHOULD I COMPLETE THE SURVEY?

Simply put, Kent State University needs to know what you think of your undergraduate experience, the kinds of activities in which you engage, and how you are benefiting from your studies. Without this information, it's not very easy for faculty and staff at our institution to identify the areas that can and should be improved. And because you have the opportunity among your classmates to represent your school, it's imperative that you make your views known.

Unlike many other surveys, the National Survey of Student Engagement has a real chance of making a difference in terms of how people at our institution use the information. There is great interest in this study for two reasons. First, we chose to participate; it wasn't required. This means there are people who want to see the results. Second, there are numerous people beyond our school who would like to know how well your school is doing - prospective students, their families, alumni, and others. So, your answers - after they are combined with those of your classmates - will be read with interest by a wide variety of people.
