Join Shimon Sarraf, NSSE Assistant Director for Survey Operations, to learn more about the relationship of incentives and campus promotions to response rates. Based on recent research presented at the AIR Annual Forum in spring 2014, this webinar will focus on answering the following questions: a. What kinds of incentives do participating NSSE institutions typically use? b. Which ones appear to be most effective at increasing student participation? c. What impact do campus promotional campaigns have on response rates ?d. For those that invest in promotional campaigns, how do they implement them and who is involved?
During the 2016 NSSE administration, thirty-seven institutions used their student portal or learning management system (SP/LMS) to supplement their student recruitment efforts. Please join Shimon for a free webinar to learn more about this recruitment approach, results suggesting it can increase response rates, and the steps to take in order to do something similar for your next NSSE administration.
This webinar walks users through the contents of the NSSE Institutional Report. The session specifically includes a review of the various data reports and supporting materials contained in the Institutional Report, details concerning which data were used in the creation of particular reports and comparison groups, and general strategies for understanding and getting the most out of your Institutional Report.
NSSE research analysts explain use of the NSSE SPSS syntax library, how to link NSSE responses to other data sources, and how to carry out sub-group analyses.

Interviewed by Tamar Sella, 10/26/2020.
Making is a deeply cultural and historical practice that often lives at the intersection where science meets the arts and humanities. As a portal to practicing various ways of knowing, inquiring, creating and relating, making is increasingly shaping educational spaces, both inside and outside of the classroom. Yet efforts to expand access to “makerspaces” often treat making as a normative or ahistorical practice, and tend to reproduce individualistic and economic narratives with regard to the purposes of making. In this talk, Vossoughi offers a critical framework for design, practice, and research on making in educational spaces. This framework draws from cultural-historical theories of learning, literature on educational equity and justice, and Vossoughi’s long-term ethnographic research on afterschool tinkering programs that merve students in non-dominant communities. More specifically, Vossoughi argues that a framework for equity in making ought to include: a) critical analyses of educational injustice; b) historicized approaches to making as cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary activity; c) explicit attention to pedagogical philosophies and practices; and d) ongoing inquiry into the sociopolitical values and purposes of making. Offering examples of each of these principles, Vossoughi considers the specific theoretical and pedagogical sensibilities that animate transformative visions for educational equity.
Video bio of Bill Shirk, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2016;
Bill Shirk graduated from Ball State in 1967 with a degree in education and initially worked as a repairman and as an account executive for his dad’s advertising agency. He taught a year of middle school in 1965 then talked his dad and mother into applying for the license for WERK-FM in Muncie, Indiana. They received the license and Shirk’s parents wanted him to start at the bottom, so he began at WERK-FM as the janitor. A year later, he became a weekend DJ at WERK-FM and by 1968 not only became the station manager of WERK-FM but also served as sales manager, program director, production manager and remained as a DJ in the afternoons. Throughout the next three decades, Shirk went on to own, general manage, program and serve as an air personality on 10 radio stations and two TV stations in Muncie; Indianapolis; Greenwood, Indiana; Greencastle, Indiana; Cloverdale, Indiana; and Lebanon, Indiana. A member of The Garden United Methodist Church, in 1983 Shirk was the executive producer and starred in “The Escapist,” the first motion picture ever produced in the state of Indiana before the film commission was established in Indiana. He now owns 12 radio stations in Hawaii and does mornings on the oldies station in Honolulu.

In many human and environmental crises, individuals and their governments exhibit a morally troubling response to the risk of mass casualties that can be described by the phrase “the more who die, the less we care,” reflecting a flawed “arithmetic of compassion.” Paul Slovic will present research demonstrating three non-rational psychological mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon: psychic numbing, pseudoinefficacy, and the prominence effect. After documenting these obstacles to rational decision making, he will explore ways to counteract them -- a roadmap for future research and its application to crisis management.
Studies of risk perception examine the judgments people make when they are asked to characterize and evaluate hazardous activities and technologies. This research aims to aid risk analysis and policymaking by (i) providing a basis for understanding and anticipating public responses to hazards and (ii) improving the communication of risk information among lay people, technical experts, and decision makers. This work assumes that those who promote and regulate health and safety need to understand how people think about and respond to risk. Without such understanding, well-intended policies may be ineffective. Among the questions the lecturer will address are: How do people think about risk? What factors determine the perception of risk and the acceptance of risk? What role do emotion and reason play in risk perception? What are some of the social and economic implications of risk perceptions? Along the way, he will address such topics as the subjective and value-laden nature of risk assessment; the multidimensionality of risk; sex, politics, and emotion in risk judgments; risk and trust; and risk perception and terrorism.

Current scholarship on international students is sparse and tends to focus on contemporary crises and possibilities, but that limited scope neglects the long chronological impact of international students and the importance of the U.S. Empire in the development of international education. My dissertation will use digital humanities tools and historical methods to analyze the significance of international students to American universities, especially those students from the U.S. Empire such as Filipinos and Puerto Ricans, from the Antebellum Period to the onset of COVID-19. This sweeping chronological timeframe will allow me to contextualize the growth of the international student movement in temporal and geographic perspective. I will use case studies of specific students to balance the long durée and broad geographic scope of my work with the intimate details and everyday struggles of individuals. My dissertation will center the agency of colonial nationals, the development of anti-colonialism, the interpenetration of nongovernmental and state organizations, and the creation of the modern higher education system in the United States with ties to both state and corporate bodies. In this HASTAC project, I have focused on visually representing the data of the Institute of International Education and the 1917 and 1921 cohorts of Filipino students in the United States through mapping on ArcGIS to demonstrate the geographic scope of the international student movement and the change over time in the early to mid-twentieth century.
The Institute of International Education (IIE) administers the most prestigious awards for international education such as the Fulbright. As an intermediary between states, private philanthropies, corporations, and universities, the IIE has smoothed global crises and facilitated U.S. diplomatic policies related to international education for the past century. In my dissertation, “The Cosmopolitans: The Institute of International Education from Liberal Internationalism to Neoliberal Globalization (1919–2003),” I ask how parastatal organizations like the IIE became central to twentieth century liberalism. I argue that Americans came to rely on international students as proxies to end global conflicts, fortify the United States’ geopolitical standing, advance capitalist economic development in the Global South, and keep U.S. colleges financially afloat.The Institute of International Education has dominated the fields of international education and person-to-person diplomacy from 1919 to the present as an intermediary between states and private organizations. It has bolstered international student programs with private grants and administered flagship federal programs such as the Fulbright. This combination of private administration and capital with federal legislation and the brand of the U.S. government has characterized the shift from massive public spending and liberal internationalism in the postwar era to the neoliberalism of the late-twentieth century.
