National Survey of Student Engagement now live

Eloise Pickering, Editor in Chief
April 17, 2026

The National Survey of Student Engagement will hit students’ inboxes next week, with completion entering students into a raffle to win Amazon gift cards. 

This survey, which takes about 20 minutes to complete, provides the National Society For Experiential Education with information on how to improve and shape the future of Loyola. The email was sent out on April 7, and the survey doesn’t close until May 11. 

Survey responses are compared to other universities to see how Loyola is succeeding, and where the college can do better. NSSE asks questions regarding Loyola’s academics, campus life, and more. 

Students who complete the survey will be entered to win one of 10 Amazon gift cards worth $50, or one of two Amazon gift cards worth $200.
