"The NILIE team could not have been more helpful to us. They worked closely with us to provide an instrument that helped us learn more about the climate at our college. The reliable information provided through the PACE Survey gave us a snapshot of employee attitudes that enabled us to put in place effective strategies to address important issues."

"Lakeshore Technical College uses the data from the survey for the college’s institutional effectiveness and continuous improvement process. We find the results of the survey a source of data and information that helps us carry out the mission and vision of Lakeshore Technical College."

"I believe your service is very valuable to two-year colleges. We simply don’t have the research staff to develop our own instrument and do all of the analysis ourselves. We also have trust issues and union-management politics to deal with. Having an outsourced, “turnkey” climate survey solution available is very useful to us."

"Middlesex Community College has administered the PACE survey three times (1999, 2000, 2001) to our college community. We found the experience rewarding and have used survey results to establish benchmarks for measuring our growth as an effective institution. The NILIE team was always professional and very responsive to our communications and concerns. Especially valuable to us was a campus visit by Dr. Baker who patiently and insightfully addressed the questions of faculty and staff and walked us through our first PACE survey."
