2009 Institute on First-Year Assessment

The Institute on First-Year Assessment will be held October 10-12, 2009 in Charlotte, NC. Sponsored by the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina, the Institute's purpose is to provide a comprehensive introduction to first-year assessment. Participants will have access to faculty throughout the Institute during informal work sessions, maximizing opportunities for learning and networking. As a working Institute, participants will leave with a draft of an assessment plan geared toward their particular campus context.
