Making Assessment Practical: Tools for Evaluating NetVUE Grants and Programs

March 23, 2024 Rooms 204–205

(Pre-registration required)

Investing in the development of new classes, programs, or initiatives requires time and resources; hence, evaluating the relative success of these efforts is essential for informed decision making. By effectively evaluating vocation-related initiatives, NetVUE leaders can create opportunities to highlight program successes on campus and consider potential refinements to programming. This post-conference afternoon workshop will focus on the practical elements of assessing vocation-related initiatives and offer suggestions on how to learn from these assessments. The workshop will include time to work on an assessment plan that can be implemented on campus. Workshop participants will leave with tools, examples, and support to help make assessment efforts manageable and productive. Anyone who designs, directs, or assesses vocation-related programming—from faculty workshops and in-classroom activities to co-curricular initiatives in student affairs, career services, or campus ministry—is welcome to register for this workshop.
