Purdue undergraduate students are invited to participate in the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) survey. The survey is available through March 31. Students will receive a unique survey link in their Purdue email account. Faculty and staff should encourage students to participate in this important measure.

The SERU is a nationwide survey designed for large, public research universities. It is the primary benchmarking tool Purdue leadership uses to assess student experiences with academics, advising, student life, campus climate, health and wellness, and much more. The SERU is Purdue’s only campuswide survey for measuring student opinions among all undergraduates.

Students who complete the survey will be entered to win one of several Amazon gift cards ranging from $50-100. Winners’ names will be randomly drawn several times during the duration of the survey.

The SERU is administered by Institutional Data Analytics + Assessment (IDA+A) on behalf of the Office of the Provost. More information about the survey is available on the IDA+A website.
