National Survey <strong>of</strong> Student Engagement (NSSE)<br />

For the past two years, Humber has participated in the National Survey <strong>of</strong> Student<br />

Engagement. NSSE was established in 2000 with a grant from the PEW Charitable<br />

Trusts and sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement <strong>of</strong> Teaching.<br />

Since its inception nearly 1,400 baccalaureate-granting colleges and universities have<br />

participated in NSSE.<br />

The survey is currently available in paper and Web versions. Humber opted for the Web<br />

version to make the survey truly voluntary and to avoid taking class time away from<br />

instruction. In 2009, the average institutional response rate was 36% and Humber‟s<br />

response rate in 2010 was 37%.<br />

Humber‟s results compare favourably with those <strong>of</strong> the 22 Canadian institutions<br />

participating in NSSE in 2010. Humber scored at or above the Canadian mean on each<br />

<strong>of</strong> the five benchmarks (see below).<br />

NSSE questions that best represent these practices.<br />

The table below summarizes key benchmark results for your institution and institutions in your<br />

selected comparison group. The „+‟ symbol indicates that your institution‟s score is higher than<br />

the respective comparison group (p
