A January 25, 2006 article from USA Today discusses the results of the 2005 Cooperative Institutional Research Project Freshman Survey, conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA's Graduate School of Education & Information Studies. According to the survey, which included over 260,000 students at 385 U.S. colleges, this year's entering college freshmen demonstrate a strong commitment to civic and social responsibility. Experts believe that recent disasters, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, played a significant role in shaping these students' attitudes.
