The Assessment Institute gave participants the opportunity for genuine collaboration, with other institutions or within their own. We brought a team from Minnesota State – Mankato, and benefited from the synergy that occurred. We continue to work on our campus advising assessment plan that, without conference participation, would not be nearly as comprehensive or developed. Workshop leaders’ expertise, tailored levels of instruction, and opportunities to collaborate made this an outstanding institute for anyone interested in doing advising assessment.

The NACADA Assessment Institute proved to be one of the most useful and inspiring conferences I have attended. The break-out groups had dynamic, knowledgeable facilitators, the activities were engaging and practical, and the result for our institution was a fresh approach to advising training that was well-received by our faculty.
