- Over one-third of respondents said NC State had met their needs for personal
growth (41.9%), and career training (35.5%) "very well." Women
and African American respondents gave much higher ratings than others to the
extent to which NC State had met their personal growth needs. Non-African
American minority respondents gave lower ratings than others to NC State's
meeting both career training and personal growth needs.
- Three-fourths or more of respondents rate NC State�s contribution to 35
of 36 knowledge, skills and personal development goals as "good" or "excellent."
In general, goals related to general education and personal development received
higher ratings than goals related to students' world view. African Americans gave
slightly higher ratings than whites to NC State's contribution to their development
of virtually all 36 goals. Women gave notably higher ratings than men to all goals
other than those related to technical or analytic skills.
- Over 55 percent of respondents said NC State had contributed "very much" to
helping them develop their independence and self-reliance (57.5%), and to
realizing their potential for success (55.7%).
- One-third of respondents
said NC State had contributed "very little" or "not at all"
to advancing their appreciation of the arts (33.1%), and about one-fourth
said NC State had contributed "very little" or "not at all"
to their exercising public responsibility (24.6%).
