From Feb. 10 to March 31, thousands of first- and fourth-year 91ɫ students are taking part in the , or “Nessie”. Through NSSE, they’ll be able to contribute their insight and have input into 91ɫ’s future direction.
To add an element of fun to the survey and to encourage participation in the survey, NSSE organizers at 91ɫ challenged the individual Faculties (except the Faculty of Education and Osgoode Hall Law School) to compete for the NSSE Cup.
Faculty results published for the survey's first week shows that students in the Schulich School of Business are leading the challenge, with the Faculties of Environmental Studies and Science in second and third place. (The NSSE Champion Cup was won in 2014 and 2017 by the Schulich School of Business.)

The Faculty with the highest participation rate will win the NSSE Champion Cup and bragging rights until the next survey.
The online survey, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, allows students in their first and final years of a four-year degree to offer their insight into what 91ɫ does well and what it could improve. It will be used to determine how much time and effort students put into educationally rewarding activities and to what degree 91ɫ facilitates this involvement.
Updates on the progress of the survey and the NSSE Champion Cup will be published every Monday in YFile.
