Sense of belonging in college students predicts better persistence, engagement and mental health. Of students surveyed in Fall 2024 on their sense of belonging, 97% of freshmen and sophomore students who indicated feeling like they belonged at UAH returned in Spring 2025.

In Fall 2025, the ETLC will support SHAPE, based on the Student Experience Project for fostering a growth mindset and increasing a sense of belonging in the classroom.

Yes, the FSSE is back. We will use the FSSE to provide insight into NSSE (companion student survey) results and to gain a better understanding of student engagement at UAH. 

You can find more information here at the administrator’s (IU) site.

Please check your email and make sure you complete the survey. It is on the longer side but very important for our university.

ETLC's Course Design Review (CDR) program has expanded to include three levels of recognition: Foundational, Proficient, and Exemplary. Each level acknowledges faculty achievement in course design while providing targeted feedback to enhance student learning.

The entire CDR process serves as valuable evidence of teaching excellence, complementing Student Instructor Evaluations (SIEs) and peer review to form a more complete picture of instructional effectiveness.

And please make sure that you complete the Accessibility Faculty Survey that you were sent in your UAH email. The survey is short but vital as we move to compliance.
