NC State Undergraduate Assessment Symposium



2009 Presentations
Thank you to all who attended and presented at the 2009 Symposium! All available presentation slides and handouts are now online.

Symposium History and Mission
The mission of the Symposium has been to provide a forum for higher education professionals to exchange ideas, discover new practices and form partnerships to enhance the full undergraduate educational experience through assessment. The Symposium was designed to address both practical concerns and larger policy issues by providing attendees with ideas and tools that could be immediately shared and implemented at their home institutions, which ranged from community colleges to large research universities.

Since the first Symposium in 2003, speakers have included Peggy Maki, Peter Ewell, Marilee Bresciani, Trudy Banta, Amy Driscoll, Barbara Walvoord, and Arthur Levine, as well as a range of other well-known experts in assessment and higher education. Symposium presentations have targeted all aspects of assessment, catering to both beginners and seasoned assessment practitioners.

One unique aspect of the Symposium has been its accessibility for non-assessment professionals. Presentation tracks and topics have consistently reached out to faculty and student affairs professionals; as with 2009's theme, "Aligning Pedagogy, Curriculum and Assessment," a goal of the Symposium has been to integrate the ideas of assessment into a wider, more diverse audience.
 

Symposium Status
Unfortunately, due to University budget cuts, the Symposium has been cancelled indefinitely.

We at the Office of Assessment wish to offer our sincere gratitude to all those who, by sponsorship, attendance, presentation, or other means, have provided support during the last seven years. You have made the Symposium into the valuable resource that it is, and we deeply regret that we will not be able to continue working with you.

As we all know, the need for assessment continues regardless of budget situations, and we hope that past Symposia have proven helpful in your assessment process.
