| Short Description: | This project's purpose is to study in depth the undergraduate experience and, at the same time,
through systematic analysis and use of data for policymaking, promote an institutional culture of evidence and self-improvement. |
| Annotation: | In assessing the quality and effectiveness of universities, much of the attention in the past focused on the role of faculty in an institution’s main mission of teaching, research, and community service. Now there is increased focus on the student side of this equation: in effect, what is the student experience and its contribution to this tripartite purpose of universities? The Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) Project is a collaborative effort among academic scholars and
institutional researchers devoted to collecting new data and providing policy-relevant analysis of exactly
these questions. The project's purpose is to study in depth the undergraduate experience and, at the same time,
through systematic analysis and use of data for policymaking, promote an institutional culture of evidence and self-improvement.
