About the COACHE Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2005, NC State has actively engaged in the national Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education<\/a> (COACHE) Faculty Satisfaction survey, developed and administered by the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. The COACHE survey is a comprehensive, confidential, assessment tool that gauges satisfaction and engagement among both tenured\/tenure-track and professional track faculty on a broad range of work-related experiences. Survey results provide benchmarks against institutional peers, as well as comparisons between groups of faculty at NC State, and trends over time. Results inform university leaders of trends and issues involving faculty satisfaction, with the data generated providing justification and evidence for updating policies and implementing initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the survey is confidential<\/strong> and we encourage robust faculty participation to ensure continued valuable impact for both colleges and the university. The survey should take approximately 25 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024 Survey Participation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the week of February 5, 2024, faculty at NC State who are eligible to participate<\/a> in the survey will receive an email from COACHE (coachefaculty@opinioncast.com<\/a>) that includes a unique URL to access the online survey. Between then and when the survey closes the week of April 1, COACHE will send up to five email reminders to non-respondents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that the URL in your email from COACHE is just for you; do not forward your email to others or use a URL intended for another faculty member. Once a survey has been submitted using a link, the link cannot be used again to access the survey. If you believe you are eligible to participate and do not receive an email, please check your spam folder. If you can\u2019t find your email, please reach out to COACHE at coachefaculty@abtassoc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is COACHE?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE)<\/a> Faculty Satisfaction Survey is a national survey that collects information on areas identified as critical to faculty satisfaction and engagement, and therefore, to recruitment and retention efforts. It is the most comprehensive survey in which NC State asks our faculty to participate, covering topics such as: overall satisfaction with the university; tenure and promotion; interdisciplinary work and collaboration; mentoring; university leadership; shared governance; the nature of work as related to teaching, research, and service; and personal and family policies. NC State also includes a number of campus-specific questions for our faculty. Reports on results from the core COACHE survey provide benchmarks against peer institutions, comparisons between groups of faculty at NC State (e.g., by rank, tenure status), and trends over time. Learn more about results from past surveys<\/a> and see examples of how NC State has used the results<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NC State has participated in the COACHE survey on a triennial basis since AY 2005-2006. We are now inviting faculty to participate in the spring 2024 survey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
