EdSights

Excited to recognize Carey Castle and the team at Somerset Community College on the 2026 SVS® Honors List. When institutional leaders genuinely commit to hearing from students—and students respond with that kind of enthusiasm—it proves what's actually possible in higher ed. Somerset's students spoke, their team listened, and the results are clear. Check out the full SVS Report and the complete 2026 Honors List → → https://lnkd.in/gH3QcP9R

Rankings are everywhere. Meaningful recognition rooted in student feedback? That's rare. When enrollment leaders actively listen and build on what they hear, the results speak for themselves. Proud to recognize Somerset's commitment to student-centered enrollment. Congrats to John K. Hall, Ed.D at Somerset Community College on making the 2026 EdSights SVS® Honors List.

We're thrilled to celebrate Dustin Stewart at Ivy Tech Community College Madison on the 2026 EdSights SVS® Honors List. When a student affairs leader says recognition matters because it's rooted in direct student feedback, that's a reminder of what actually drives change in higher ed. Not surveys. Not assumptions. Student voice. That's where institutions thrive. Check out the full SVS Report and the complete 2026 Honors List → → https://lnkd.in/gH3QcP9R

In this year's SVS Report (launched today!) we are celebrating 51 institutions that showed the highest student satisfaction scores across their respective institutional sectors. 👏 This inaugural class of the SVS Honors List is filled with incredible programs that are truly leading the way in student satisfaction. And as John K. Hall, Ed.D of Somerset Community College shared, "While there are many rankings out there, this one is especially meaningful because it is based entirely on direct feedback from our students. That is something truly worth celebrating." Congratulations to all the honorees! 🎉 🏆 Check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gH3QcP9R

We're honored to partner with Northern Illinois University! Great article about how they're using AI thoughtfully to better the student experience & drive notable increases in student retention. "Mission AI has contributed to positive outcomes at NIU. Students who interacted with this service have returned for the next semester at a much higher rate than students who did not engage – approximately 75 percent, compared with approximately 65 percent for non-users."

Every year, EdSights measures higher ed student satisfaction through our Student Voice Score benchmark. SVS asks students "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend your institution to a friend?", then subtracts the percentage of Detractors (0-6) from Promoters (9-10). Very similar to a Net Promoter Score! We're releasing the SVS benchmarks NEXT WEDNESDAY! Before we reveal the data, how do you think student satisfaction has changed from last year to this year? 🤔 💡

Care teams don't need to be large to move quickly and efficiently. Tom Nesbitt from Clinton Community College knows this well. That's why weekly meetings at Clinton look different: staff aren't just implementing decisions, they're making them. When a small team walks through each process together, and everyone has a voice in big decisions, priorities can shift as needs do. But the rigor stays. That collective collaboration is what creates lasting change for students.
