Recent National Projects

Over the past several years, Corning Community College has participated in a variety of national student surveys.

These include: Spring 2009 and Spring 2012 administration of the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), Spring 2008 administration of The 2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08), and the annual spring collection of the National Community College Benchmark Project.  In Spring 2010 we completed the ACT-SUNY Student Opinion Survey (SOS) and anticipate administering it again in Spring 2013. 

For more information on these surveys, please contact Monica Joy Defendorf, Director of Institutional Research.
