PRESENT YOUR OWN METHODS AND FINDINGS TO A DISTINGUISHED GROUP OF EVALUATORS AT A PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE

 

The Eastern Evaluation Research Society (EERS) is very pleased to invite undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in at least two courses per semester for the 2011-12 academic year to submit proposals for presentations at the 35th Annual Conference to be held at the Seaview Spa and Resort in Absecon, New Jersey on April 29 to May 1, 2012.  The theme for the 2012 Annual EERS Conference is:  Evaluation in a Complex World:  Balancing Theory and Practice.

 

EERS, a local affiliate of the American Evaluation Association, has provided evaluators in the Northeast with opportunities for sharing expertise, learning and networking for over thirty years.  EERS is committed to encouraging students to build their professional skills through participation in a professional conference and opportunities to present their work as developing evaluators. 

 

During the 2012 Conference there will be two special student presentations sessions:

* Three student papers on evaluation methods and/or findings will be selected for presentation during a special 90 minute concurrent session

* A poster session will be held for students to present and discuss their evaluation methods and/or findings in a less formal setting

 

Please visit the EERS website at www.eers.org to download the procedures of submitting a presentation proposal.  The submission deadline is December 1, 2011 and notification of acceptance will be made in early February 2012.
