Assessment Showcase and Awards today
Discover what K-State programs are doing to improve student learning.
The Assessment Showcase and Awards will be from 4-5 p.m. today, March 13, in Hale Library's Hemisphere Room. It is free and open to all K-State faculty and staff. No registration is required and brief reception with refreshments will follow.
The showcase began as part of K-State's annual assessment conference — now the Institute for Student Learning Assessment — in 2008. As the conference grew statewide in 2013, the Assessment Showcase and Awards became a separate event to recognize K-State programs with exemplary assessment processes and provide an opportunity for programs to share assessment best-practices.
See the Assessment Showcase and Awards website for more information. It is sponsored by the Kansas State University Office of Assessment.
