Reports by Type
Other Surveys
Interfaith Diversity Experiences & Attitudes Longitudinal Survey (IDEALS)
Starting in Fall 2015, Oakland University (OU) began participating in a 4-year longitudinal study directed by North Carolina State University (NCSU). This longitudinal study, conducted in collaboration with New York University (NYU) and the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), will give precise data indicating the types of educational experiences most conducive to interfaith learning among all students, including student leaders.

Fall 2015 Responses
National Assessment of Service and Community Engagement (NASCE)
In February 2015 and again in October 2018, Oakland University administered the National Assessment of Service and Community Engagement (NASCE) survey. NASCE has grown over the past decade into a widely used and respected assessment tool for measuring and expressing community engagement among U.S. colleges and universities. Many institutions are incorporating NASCE baseline data into their strategic plans and campus-wide engagement goals and using the information to guide implementations and to measure progress towards their objectives.
