National Survey of Student Engagement2001Durin
g the Spring 2001 semester, all UW-System
four-year institutions participated in the
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

key clusters of activities that research studies
show are linked to desired college outcomes.

The NSSE activity clusters are

• Level of academic challenge
• Active and collaborative learning
• Student-faculty interaction
• Enriching educational experiences
• Supportive campus environment
