Tom Krieglstein shares NESTE data showing 60% of four-year college students and 84% at two-year campuses never attend college-sponsored activities. Most students sit on the sidelines while a small core participates.
So we started on a dance floor, then we went to a pillow fight. Now let's come here to Bison Land. And we see that you all already. We know that you're the fives in the center of the dance floor. But imagine you could go up to the balcony and look off to the edge and see some percentage of your students or your residents for the Ras looking back at you with their arms crossed. Gone. Try get me to participate. What percentage of your students do you think or residents are disinterested in any of the activities you're going to try and host this year? Turn to your neighbor and give them your best percentage. Guess, ready and go. I love when I ask that question because I always hear like 40, 80% and then there's usually some. It's like 99%. I'm the only one who does anything. The good news is it's not that bad. The bad news is it's not that good. According to the national survey on student engagement called the NESTE Survey that tracks this kind of activity across the country, the last time they did the study they found that 60 or 84% of students will never participate in a College sponsored activity. 60 for four year, 84 for two year or heavy commuter campuses. So we have a dance that looks like this, a bad dance has a small number of people in the middle, huge number of people on the outside.
