News from Institutional Research
The Importance of NSSE
From mid-February to mid-March, Lees-McRae College will participate in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). More than 600 four-year colleges and universities in the United States and Canada will also deploy the survey. By examining the time and efforts students devote to their studies, the survey will help LMC identify strengths and weaknesses and prioritize resources associated with student learning activities. As one element of a regular assessment strategy, NSSE will help Lees-McRae succeed in the future. Students have received invitations to participate via e-mail and will receive weekly reminders until March 19.

News from Academic Affairs
New Lab Space
A new Health Science Virtual Lab is currently being developed in an old lab space in the Bowman Science Building. The new lab will be equipped with computers, digital microscopes, anatomy and physiology equipment and a host of other teaching tools to better serve our students studying the health sciences.
Allied Health Offerings
The College is expanding its current Allied Health offerings. In addition to Athletic Training and Health Sciences, Lees-McRae is exploring programs in Healthcare Administration and Emergency Care Management. Healthcare Administration prepares students for careers in areas such as medical clinics, hospitals, public health departments, and rehabilitation centers. The curriculum will have an interdisciplinary focus combining courses in business, marketing, finance, and human resources with health care information systems, law, ethics, policy and regulations.
Emergency Care Management will prepare students for careers in fields such as disaster management, emergency medical services, and hospitals. The curriculum would be aligned with the state and national EMS requirements, emergency room technician requirements, and Wilderness First Responder certification requirements. This program will have a summer curriculum and disaster management component.
