Greetings from Claremont Graduate University!
We are proud to announce the 2006 CGU Stauffer Symposium: "What Constitutes Credible Evidence in Evaluation and Applied Research?" This event will take place on Saturday, August 19th, during our very popular 4th annual Professional Development Workshop Series August 18-24.
Organizations of all types and sizes are being asked to evaluate their practices, programs, and policies at an increasing rate. While there seems to be much support for the notion of using evidence to continually improve efficiency and effectiveness, there appears to be growing disagreement and confusion about what constitutes sound evidence. These disagreements have far-reaching implications for evaluation, applied research practice, for funding competitions, as well as for how best to conduct and use evaluation and applied research to promote human betterment.
In light of this debate, we have assembled an illustrious group of experts working in various areas of evaluation and applied research to share their diverse perspectives on the question of "What Constitutes Credible Evidence?" Please join us for what promises to be an illuminating and action packed day in sunny Claremont, CA, on August 19th.
