Evaluation Planning Retreat Offered by The Evaluation Center

The Evaluation Center is facilitating a five-day, hands-on evaluation planning retreat, May 11-15, 2026, for teams from educational, public sector, and nonprofit organizations. Participants will receive instruction, tools, practice, and guidance to develop meaningful and actionable evaluation plans during the retreat. 

The retreat will benefit teams from WMU departments or grant-funded projects that are ready to jumpstart a new evaluation or assessment strategy or strengthen existing practices. The deeply discounted rate for WMU staff and faculty is $950 for a two-person team from the same department, and $300 for each additional person. 

The event will take place at the Fetzer Center, and the fee includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily.
