IRE consults with units across the MSU campus regarding institutional survey design, and administration, including wording of questions, survey length, target audience selection, and data analyses. We administer numerous surveys every academic year, both internal and nationally normed.
For assistance with design and administration of institutional surveys, please contact Tonya Laughlin, Coordinator of Surveys and Data Collection, at (337-475-5510) or tlaughlin@mcneese.edu.
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is a national survey administered in the spring of even numbered years (since 2012). Results include comparisons to ULS System, Carnegie Classification peers, and the entire NSSE cohort for the survey year. These are summary results. More detailed results disaggregated by college and other criteria are available by contacting our office.

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
