Surveys
Student Athletic Interest Survey (2026)
The Mānoa Institutional Research Office (MIRO) is administering the Student Athletic Interest Survey on behalf of UH Mānoa Athletics from April 15–May 1, 2026. Students may receive emails from MIRO asking them to complete the survey.
The Mānoa Institutional Research Office (MIRO) administers several institutional surveys (e.g. the National Survey of Student Engagement or “NSSE,” the Campus Experience Survey, and the Earth Day Survey), and archives surveys conducted by other UH Mānoa offices (e.g. the Student Athletic Interest Survey and Cooperative Institutional Research Program “CIRP”). These survey activities are part of the university’s commitment to institutional effectiveness and improvement.
MIRO does not provide contact information of individual students and employees for survey research purposes.
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is coordinated by the Indiana University Center for Post-secondary Research. NSSE collects information from samples of first-year and senior students about the nature and quality of their undergraduate experience. Scores are summarized using ten engagement indicators which examine dimensions of student engagement and are organized within four themes: Academic Challenge, Learning with Peers, Experience with Faculty, and Campus Environment.
Since its launch in 2000, nearly 1,700 colleges and universities and approximately 6.5 million students in the US and Canada have participated in NSSE. The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa participated in 2004–2005, 2007–2011, 2015, 2020, and 2025. Students receive all NSSE communications electronically and complete the survey online.

Earth Day Survey
To better understand the campus community’s perspectives on climate change, sustainability, and resilience issues, the Mānoa Institutional Research Office and the UH Office of Sustainability administered the first Earth Day Survey in Spring 2018, and again in Spring 2020. The four open-ended questions were designed to probe different aspects of sustainability issues. The survey asked the Mānoa community to discuss the sustainability and climate change issues that most concern them, how they learn about those issues, what topics they want to learn more about, and the ways in which sustainability and climate change issues have influenced their decisions and life choices. Survey results and reports are provided below. UH Mānoa employees can access Earth Day Survey data tools through MIRO’s Decision Support system.
