The 1997 Graduating Seniors were administered a
Graduating Student Opinion Survey at the end of the 1997 Spring
Semester. The results presented below are for 3,315 graduates
of the 1997 class. These results are compared to a 1992 survey
of graduating seniors, the last year in which Rutgers administered
this survey.

Participation by Percentage
in Selected Extracurricular Activities
Of the responding students, 68% said that
they were involved in extracurricular activities, which is a
percentage point lower than the overall participation rate in
1992. As in 1992, students were most likely to be involved in
academic and professional organizations, with 31% of the 1997
respondents reporting being involved in such organizations. Community
services organizations attracted a slightly higher percentage
of the 1997 graduates (22%) than the 1992 graduates (19%). As
in 1992, the 1997 graduates showed high rates of participation
in honor societies (21%), intramural athletics (17%), ethnic
organizations (15%) and Greek life (11%). |
