In this opening segment, Tom Krieglstein highlights the common misconceptions about student involvement in campus-sponsored activities, noting that anecdotal figures often range from 70% to 99%. He then references the National Survey on Student Engagement, which provides concrete data: 60% of students at four‑year institutions and 84% at two‑year or heavily commuter campuses report never participating in any college‑sponsored activity. Krieglstein frames these numbers as neither catastrophically low nor entirely acceptable, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of why participation is so limited and how it might be improved.

Chapters

I love when I ask that question. I always hear like 80%, 70%, and then there's usually someone's like 99%. I'm the only one. It's just me. The good news is it's not that bad, but the bad news is it's not that good. According to the National Survey on Student Engagement, which tracks this kind of activity around 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.
