Abstract
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), administered to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s (UHM) freshmen and seniors in 2015, provides valuable insights into students’ self-reported learning experiences. The campus identified six survey items related to civic engagement.
Overall, the survey revealed substantial civic engagement opportunities that students experience at the UHM. A majority of freshmen and seniors1 reported that they participated in at least one potential civic engagement activity. Specifically:
(1) 81% of the seniors (1012 out of 1255) reported participating in at least one civic activity, including field experience (e.g., internship), community service, volunteer work, or co-curricular activity, such as joining a student club. (2) About two-thirds of the seniors reported opportunities to apply their learning to societal problems (65%) and to take courses that included a community-based project (64%). (3) Slightly more than half of the seniors participated in a field experience (52%) and community service (55%). (4) Proportionally, more seniors reported participating in field experience and in community service than their freshmen counterparts did.
