Project Description
CCCSE proudly announces the Culture of Caring project. This project will feature the administration of a 15-item question set with the 2024 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and a 12-item special focus module with the 2024 Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE). These item sets will investigate the factors that shape students’ experiences around the topics of self-efficacy, stigma, sense of belonging, basic needs, and mental health and well-being.
CCCSE will conduct focus groups in fall 2024 with students at three community colleges.
After the data collection and focus groups are completed, CCCSE will release a national publication that illuminates the survey findings and shares stories of how colleges across the country are working to build cultures of care on their campuses.
