What is Student Engagement?
What students do -- time and energy devoted to educationally purposeful activities
What institutions do -- using effective educational practices to induce students to do the right things
Educationally effective institutions channel student energy toward the right activities

1. Oneonta should initiate a campus-wide discussion of student engagement and strategies for enhancing this process, to include faculty, staff, and students.
![Page 26: An Introduction: NSSE and the Concept of Student Engagement](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4c5503460f94b421c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Oneonta should focus on initiatives to improve engagement with first-year students.
![Page 27: An Introduction: NSSE and the Concept of Student Engagement](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4c5503460f94b421c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. These initiatives should target the following areas:• Student-Faculty Interaction (SFI)• Active and Collaborative Learning
(ACL)• Level of Academic Challenge (LAC)• Enriching Educational Experiences

4. Aspirational goal: To compare favorably to other mid-east public and Carnegie Class institutions, for both first-year students and seniors, when the NSSE is next conducted in 2014.
