The transition to college is difficult for many students. CTC wants to better understand the difficulties that students experience in the transition to college, as well as what makes the transition smoother and easier. They hope to use this information to improve the transition to Indiana University - Bloomington for students in the future.
This study consists of two surveys to be administered to undergraduates and two focus groups. The data will then be used to for the customization of the CTC intervention to be administered as a survey to all incoming freshman during the Fall 2015 pre-orientation.

The purpose of this survey is to better understand the sexual health, behaviors, and experiences of IU students. The data can be compared to the annual nationally representative studies of US sexual behavior (the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior) for research purposes. Related to the department of Applied Health Science and the School of Public Health, the data may also inform course content for approximately 8 sections of Human Sexuality that are taught each semester, enrolling about 1600-2000 students annually.

Data & Analysis
Objective: To examine, in a probability sample of undergraduate students, characteristics of students’ most recent sexual experiences (including alcohol use) as well as their experiences with nonconsensual sex. Participants: In January and February 2015, 22,046 students were invited to
participate in an anonymous, cross-sectional, Internet-based survey; 7,032 surveys were completed (31.9%). Methods: Measures included background characteristics (age, gender, sexual orientation), most recent sexual event items (sexual pleasure, wantedness, alcohol use), and experiences with
nonconsensual sex (since college and lifetime). Results: Respondents reporting sober consensual sex were more likely to report higher levels of sexual pleasure and wantedness. Nonconsensual oral, vaginal, or anal penetration occurring during college were reported by 15.8% of women and 7.7% of men. Students more often told friends, partners, or family members and rarely disclosed to university faculty or police. Conclusions: Implications for campus policy and health education are addressed.
How do High Impact Practices affect student success post-graduation? For the purposes of our survey, we are defining success as solidified post-graduate opportunities such as graduate school, full-time employment, fellowships, military, etc. We are particularly interested in responses discussing the reflection and application process that goes along with High Impact Practices, as defined by George Kuh (AAC&U, 2008).

The Board of Aeons selected, as one of the topics for the year, assessing possible improvements in support for international students. The research question is the following: What is the degree of international student engagement for undergraduates on the Bloomington campus, and how can international student success (e.g. academic, social, co-curricular) be better facilitated? This survey will complement the data already collected from the International Student Barometer and the National Survey for Student Engagement by assessing the voice of both domestic and international students in regards to questions of engagement and integration. The goal is to enhance the perspective of the university's bicentennial strategic plan as it relates to international students.
