Editor's Notes
- Faculty’s influence over student success... As a faculty member you have significant influence over students college and career choices. Students look up to faculty whether it is in the classroom, in the research lab, or in a faculty advising session. With this comes opportunity, an opportunity to link academics to careers, to link their classes, their majors to careers to ensure students are successful not only during their time at the university but in the world of work when they graduate.
- In 2013 and 2014, The Office of Institutional Research conducted the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshmen Survey with that year's cohort of incoming freshmen.
