Georgia Southern freshman and seniors can win prizes for feedback

May 7, 2015

The Office of Strategic Research and Analysis (OSRA) is offering prizes for student feedback. Participants can win one of 20 prizes. OSRA is compiling information to improve students’ educational experience at Georgia Southern University through the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). On Feb. 23, selected freshmen and senior students were emailed invitations to participate, which include a customized link to access the survey. Eligible participants are encouraged to complete the survey as soon as possible, and to keep an eye out for email reminders with the subject line: “Georgia Southern Wants Your Feedback.” Those who complete and submit their surveys by June 1 will be eligible for random drawings for one of the following prizes:

• 1 of 10 University Store gift cards
• 1 of 10 Tech Corner gift cards

“NSSE helps us understand how Georgia Southern students are spending time in and out of the classroom, which guides decisions that will be beneficial to them,” said Mike Jordan, Ph.D., associate director of OSRA. Results from past National Survey of Student Engagement administrations have provided valuable insights into undergraduates’ perceptions of their academic and other experiences at the University. Confidential responses will be an important source of information to the University as it identifies aspects of the undergraduate experience that can be improved through changes in policies and best practices in undergraduate education. To be eligible for the drawings, completed surveys must be submitted by June 1. All participants’ responses will remain confidential and no personally-identifiable information will be reported.
