Duke Undergraduate Check-In Study

Duke Undergraduate Check-In Study (DUCkI)

As a signature initiative of the Office of Undergraduate Education Research group, the DUCkI study focuses on the diverse processes that contribute to student success. Our goal is to collect high-quality data to help improve the undergraduate experience at Duke. Each year we share our findings with stakeholders across campus, and we need to hear from as many students as possible to ensure that we accurately represent the diversity of experiences students are having at Duke.

To participate in DUCkI research: This year, we’re inviting all current undergraduates to participate in DUCkI–half in the fall and the other half in the spring. Your participation involves completing a brief online survey. As a token of our appreciation, you will be entered into a drawing for Owala water bottles, Eno Hammocks, Sony noise-canceling headphones, Nike Pegasus shoes, and more! You must be 18 or older and a current Duke undergraduate to participate.

How are the DUCkI findings used? 
Results from this study will be used to evaluate campus programs and initiatives and to help Duke better support students. More generally, data from this study will help us better understand young adults’ social and academic lives in college. DUCkI findings from previous years  have been used in the following ways:

• Provided data in support of student, faculty, and staff advocacy efforts to fund neurodiversity resources
   
• Making the case for where and why funds are needed to improve student support
   
• Shared annually with campus departments and senior leaders to inform decision-making and support professional development
