2026 NEean Fall Forum Beyond Data: The Power of Assessment as Relational Presence November 6, 2026 at The College of the Holy Cross, Worcester MA This year’s Fall Forum invites you to step away from your screen and gather in person to strengthen the professional relationships that sustain us through change. Assessment works best in collaboration, and NEean offers a space to build mentoring networks, share strategies for doing more with less, and ground our practice in what matters most: students, relationships, and community. Whether you're navigating a merger, leading as a solo practitioner, or reimagining assessment amid policy uncertainty, you'll find colleagues who understand the challenges and are ready to dig into them together. |
