Student Affairs  conducted research about our students beginning in 1988. We  administered the 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1996 ACT Entering Student Survey to students at orientation before enrollment. In undergraduate classes, we have administered the ACT Needs Assessment in fall of 1988, the ACT Opinion Survey in spring of 1990 and the College Student Experiences Questionnaire in spring 1994, 1998, 2002, 2005 and the CIRP National Freshman Survey in 1997. We administered the ACE Mattering Scales for Adult Students in Higher Education in fall of 1994 and the CORE Alcohol and Drug Survey in spring of 1996 and 2000. The Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction survey was administered in the Spring of 2000,2002 and 2005. We maintain a commitment to providing the ETSU community accurate and the most up-to-date information about our students. For more information, contact Dr. Sally Lee.
