  2. To foster academic excellence, we as a University . . . Concern ourselves with developing and nurturing the whole person, allowing students, faculty and staff to grow intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, culturally, socially andphysically in an environment that supports individual differences and insists that mutual love and respect should animate every aspect of university life.

  3. Data Sources • Since 1994 the Senior Survey has been a major source to capture students’ assessments of skill and knowledge enhancement skills as a result of their Villanova experiences. The survey also captures student involvement in academics and campus life; students’ satisfaction with the Villanova experience and future employment and educational plans. • Multiple versions of the Senior Survey are used to enable participation in national surveys for comparison data as well as our own version for special informational needs. • Two versions of the Senior Survey were used for this analysis:
