Pulse Student InterviewersPenn State Pulse was initiated in Spring of 1995 by Student Affairs to gather feedback on student issues, expectations, usage, and satisfaction. Students, faculty, and staff suggest topics and contribute input into the design of the questions. Surveys are reviewed by the University Office for Research Protections and include participant consent. As of December 2009, 157 Penn State Pulse surveys have been completed.

Random samples of students are either called by trained interviewers or receive an e-mail invitation to participate online. Some surveys include students from Penn State Commonwealth campuses.


High participation rates, large respondent numbers, and verification that the demographics of respondents are consistent with the population suggest that the survey results are representative of the student body.

Individual responses are confidential. Results are reported in summary form and are available in approximately one month after a survey is completed. Results are posted online and are shared with University administrators, staff, faculty, and students.*
 
*Notice of new results are sent via the Student Affairs Research and Assessment Listserv. You may request to be added to this list by sending an e-mail to kkc3@sa.psu.edu.
