Purpose

The purpose of the STING Assessments is to improve education and society by enhancing knowledge regarding student development and first year experiences.  Our surveys serve as tools that inform us about the needs and behaviors of our students.  Specific attention is paid to the influence of environmental factors ( e.g., educational interventions, peer relationships, diverse interactions, student services, and co-curricular involvement) on student development.  Results contribute to a fuller understanding of college students developmental needs, knowledge on how to improve programs and services, and a foundation from which to build future research.
